Does Crohn's Disease Cause Vomiting And Diarrhea?

Posted on Thu, 28 Jan 2016

Question: My daughter,16, had Crohns disease at 11. After treatment it went away. Each year we have blood tests and confirm its absence. This past year she has frequently complained of debilitating stomach aches and throws up. Is this a result of Crohn's disease and how should I treat it? The doctors find no Crohn's reason for the ache and suggest antacid which does not help.

2. How long does the pain last? What lowers it ?
3. Is it related to her menstrual cycle ?
4. Is she passing normal stools? Is it blood stained anytime?
