Chrohns Disease- Will she die? Please HELP!

My best friend might have chrones disease. Her sister has it and she is showing symptoms of it. (its is heriditary right?) What will happen to her if she has it?

Answer #1

It may have a genetic component as well as an environmental one. It can be a tough disease to have, but it has a low incidence of fatality. Science is working on it, but as of now, there is no cure, it can only be managed. But who knows what medicine will be able to do in the future. A century ago diabetes was usually fatal by the teen years, now it is totally controllable. Fifty years ago cancer was almost always deadly, and now most can be treated and even overcome. Crohn’s disease is not as deadly as either of those, and a cure may be found in the coming decade. There are some things that your friend can do to minimize the bad effects of this disease, but she needs to see and work with her doctor.

You can help her by sticking by her. You will NOT catch Crohn’s Disease. It’s not that kind of sickness.

Good Luck!!
