Is everybody on meds that have Crohns? Or can some people be on nothing?

hi & welcome bruni 
i went 20 years with no meds after surgery.. only recently the crohns has decided to let me know its still there, so i'm on prednisolone at the moment. i think meds treatment varies from person to person, and depends very much on how their crohns is behaving and affecting them. i know crohns sufferers who havent had surgery, but are managing to cope with a very careful diet, and only turn to meds when it flares. other people are on a degree of meds continually.

I'm on about 10 of them, all have the root of Crohn's to some degree or another. I go on and off others too, so I've been on as few as a couple and as many as a dozen or so.
Like was said, I know of some who are in remission without a single med....all depends on the disease.

I had a period of symptom free, med free (I didn't realize at the time that an early, vaguely mis-diagnosed outbreak that last nearly 2 months was my first intro to it)
otherwise great health, no issues other than occasional bouts of flu like issues, of 10 years... then another similar that lasted 5 years... Now, I have only had 'free' days while on meds or post surgery... currently, on LDN, my symptoms are there, but greatly reduced... manageable, liveable, workable, enjoyable. I have only been on LDN for a few months, so it may even get better. Or worse.
