Yes, Crohn's disease is a fatal disease but it somehow can be controled (not cured) using some medications. Check the complications of the disease in the Mayo Clinic website:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/crohns-disease/DS00104/DSECTION=7
There are also many facts about the disease in that link.

Most people with Crohn's disease are extremely deficient because their small intestines are inflamed and this is where we absorb most of our nutrients.

The solution for Crohn's disease is the same for almost all of our other dis-eases...eat better foods!!! Anytime we are having problems with our digestive system, that is our bodies way of telling us that it's not happy with what we are putting in our 30 foot food tube. So, we must change what we are eating, but people with Crohn's disease must first do an extended juice fast in order for their intestines to heal. For example, green leafy vegetables are the most nutrient dense foods on the planet, but these foods will irritate people with Crohn's disease. The solution is to juice those green leafy vegetables and eat fruit or just do a juice fast.

Most people need to drink at least a gallon of juices a day on a juice fast, which can be somewhere between 12 to 20 pounds of food. No one can eat 20 pounds of vegetables, but they can juice them and get all of that great nutrition without expending any energy converting the solid foods to liquids. By not wasting all of that energy converting those foods into liquid, this energy is then redirected and is used for healing the body by cleansing and rebuilding every cell throughout the body.

It's rarely fatal. Eating the proper foods is very important to helping the person stay relatively healthy. You might want to join a support group in your area.It's really important to change your eating habits so being around othes who are dealing with it may make it easier to deal with.
