Not necessarily. Each patient is different and the severity of the symptoms can vary a great deal. While Crohns is never cured, remissions (times when the disease is not active) can last for years. Flare's can come and go suddenly, or they can get worse as they go on until hospitalization is the only course of action. There is no way to predict this as each patients disease progresses on its own course.

What is frequency of births with crohns disease?
The fertility rates for women with Crohns disease are not much different from those without Crohns. Women with Crohn's disease should also be aware that pregnancy often results in normal gestation and that children are not more likely to have the disease just because mom has it. If a woman with Crohns is in remission at the time of conception, she has no greater risk for a disease flare than a woman who is not pregnant. A woman with active disease at the time of conception has a one-third chance of going into remission, a one-third chance of staying at the same disease activity level, and a one-third chance of getting worse during pregnancy. There is no evidence to suggest that inactive Crohn's disease has any effect on either female or male fertility, or on a woman's ability to carry a pregnancy to term and have a vaginal delivery.
What are the effects of the flu on a person with crohns disease?
Actually, the symptoms of Crohns disease are very similar to those of the flu. Most undiagnosed Crohns patients believe for a long period of time that they actually have the flu when in fact they are having a flare of Crohns disease. On the reverse, a veteran patient of Crohns will often experience the symptoms of the flu and suspect they are having a flare. The treatments for each are very different, so a Crohns patient needs to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

How does crohns disease effect growth?
Children who suffer Crohns disease often have delayed growth. The Childs body puts a lot of effort into repair at a time when it should be dealing with normal growth and development. Medications used to control Crohns can also delay normal growth rates. Nutrition is compromised with each flare up and constant diarrhea inhibits absorption of much needed nutrients.
