One patient's story is recounted. Relatively asymptomatic for 20 years, the patient reflects on factors that contributed to his healing. Psychosocial and spiritual dimensions are described as well as biomedical aspects. The story concludes that dealing with Crohn's disease triggered a spiritual quest which in turn contributed to the patient's healing.
