Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Crohns disease can lead to bowels obstruction. Due to intestine inflammation it gets narrow so the stool can not pass freely. Quite often the last part of small intestine and the first part of large intestine are affected. Bowels obstruction gives cramps, diarrhea, bloated abdomen, nausea.

I suggest you to visit your gastroenterologist. Abdominal X-ray should be done and abdominal CT with oral contrast (enteroclysis) should be done. Surgical removal of affected part might be necessary.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
