Best Answer

Crohn's can be progressive when severe or left untreated, but with medications Crohn's can be put at a stand still and no flare-ups will occur for long periods of time (remission). Crohn's can get worse over time but the reason for the medications is to relieve symptoms and keep flare-ups at bay, so no progression of the disease is made.
