Left untreated the chances of fatality are quite high. Complications due to blockages, sepsis, dehydration and poor nutrition are common. Severe weight loss and dehydration often follow a first bout of the disease and certainly do not go unnoticed by the patient with following flares. The disease never goes away, spontaneous remission may sometimes leave the patient feeling like they have "cured" themselves but it always comes back without proper treatment.

If untreated and severe, Crohn's disease can lead to fistula formation which can be quite unpleasant. There is also an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis).
