Don't think so... as I recall it's primarily a case of managing the symptoms. I guess the worst case scenario is your colon becoming so badly compromised that it needs to be removed (colectomy), which probably leaves you with a new set of GI symptoms (not the end of the world though). Ulcer/s might cause bleeding, fibrosis - having your organs chronically scarring is bad, obstructions etc. I think those are the more acute scenarios though, with most cases being treated / sent into remission by medication so you can live normally.
Been watching Doogie Howser. I'm obviously not a doctor, but autoimmune diseases are curious ailments indeed.
