Hi ! Possibly the smell is related to some kind of particular food which you might have started of late to consume, which you might not be consuming earlier. I do not think it is in any way related to the Crohn's disease. If you have got relief with nexium, then please continue the same for the time period as advised by your doctor. I would suggest you to try and see changing the dietary ingredients you might have started recently. Good luck.
