What is the life expectancy of someone with Crohn's disease?
Life expectancy of people with Crohn's disease and recent progresses and researches in Crohn's disease
For the vast majority of those affected by the disease, life expectancy for people with Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis is similar to that of the general population. In the 1950s the prognosis was worse and life expectancy lower, but with the latest advances and new treatments this life expectancy has risen to the same level as that of the population without inflammatory bowel diseases.
Therefore, it can be concluded that having Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis does not affect life expectancy, Although it has an important impact on quality of life and it can considerably reduce it in the most serious cases.

If you follow the right path it will be longer than before you were diagnosed because in order to beat IBD you need to learn how your body operates. Once you have this knowledge then the years will add on not be subtracted.

You can live for a very long time!
I think that like any other chronic disease, is relative, to what is most afraid of is the cancer caused by the constant inflammation and immunosuppressants.
I think that the progress most promising is the human microbiome (intestinal)

The life expectancy is the same as that of any other person. The last progress that I have leiodp is the transplantation of stool
The truth I see this pathology as any other, any disease this excenta cause mortality but this seems to me that it is controllable, and we have a lower rate of cancer of the colon by more absurd that you read about,,we take care of most controls in this area such as colonoscopies that make us aware of the details that the normal population does not, a colonoscopy for example, is not a routine examination, although it should be for everyone.

Hope is the new drugs that are that the majority of patients to lead a practically normal life
With the current treatments, there is a great possibility of a normal life, and without any major problems.
There are recent studies with transplantation of stem cells that promise to resolve the disease and few cases have been published, but is marred in bureaucracy in Brazil. Also I have heard in the vaccine, but for now nothing concrete about the vaccines. It is certain that traditional remedies are still the but used.
