not sure that there is, but besides using medications to keep the disease calm, you can also try other moderation's, such as with your diet. I'm sure that your doctor has told you about these options, but if not, these are some things that i know: an anti-inflammatory diet can help b/c crohn's is an inflammatory bowel condition. Some things about the anti-inflam diet is avoiding red meat and dairy (b/c they are inflammatory), however, the down side of it is that this can also be known as the "why bother to eat diet," but what you do is eliminate all inflam. foods for 2 wks, and then slowly re-introduce them into your diet and see which foods are inflam. to you. You could also look into aloe vera, which is great for the cells in the GI tract. you could also get your back checked out, i know a guy that ended up with crohn's, he blamed it on a disc injury in his low back, due to the nerve innervation to the GI tract, a "subluxation" (chiropractically applied, meaning a bone that is not moving to it fullest degree of motion), can irritate a nerves that innervate all aspects of the body, so it is not out of the question. but i hope this helps, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

No, unfortunately there is no cure, just treatments. "Treatment may include drugs, nutrition supplements, surgery, or a combination of these options. The goals of treatment are to control inflammation, correct nutritional deficiencies, and relieve symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. At this time, treatment can help control the disease by lowering the number of times a person experiences a recurrence, but there is no cure. Treatment for Crohn’s disease depends on the location and severity of disease, complications, and the person’s response to previous medical treatments when treated for reoccurring symptoms.

Some people have long periods of remission, sometimes years, when they are free of symptoms. However, the disease usually recurs at various times over a person’s lifetime. This changing pattern of the disease means one cannot always tell when a treatment has helped. Predicting when a remission may occur or when symptoms will return is not possible.

Someone with Crohn’s disease may need medical care for a long time, with regular doctor visits to monitor the condition."
