What Causes Abdominal Pain, Vomiting And Weight Loss When Diagnosed With Crohn S Disease?

My 27 year old daughter was diagnosed with severe crohns last year. They went in to remove part of her colon and the surgeon said it wasn t bad and in fact couldn t really see it was that bad. They put her on humira no improvement, trips to the emergency room 1 or 2 times a month with sharp pain in lower right abdomen, vomiting, weight loss, black stools, had had several EGD and recently a colonoscopy - everything clean as a whistle What else should they be looking for? She can t even hold down a job - I m not sure she even has crohns YYYY@YYYY
