Crohn's disease may also be called ileitis or enteritis. 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.
People with Crohn's disease may feel well and be free of symptoms for substantial spans of time when their disease is not active. Despite the need to take medication for long periods of time and occasional hospitalizations, most people with Crohn's disease are able to hold jobs, raise families, and function successfully at home and in society.

According to my doctor, and research I've read, a person with crohn's disease has a life expectancy approximately the same as someone without the disease, as long as the crohnnie takes care of himself and keeps the disease in check.
Personally, I plan to live to be 99 years old at the very least.

There is no cure for Chron's Disease so the person will have it for life. However, with treatment you can have many years symptom free. I am on steroids at the moment which are helping. Hopefully it will clear this flare up. However, most sufferers will require surgey at some point to remove the most effected diseased areas.

Ask your hospital specialist. As far as I know people with crohn's can live a long life, at least I hope so as my friend has it.
