Dear Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your problem. These symptoms can be due to a couple of factors. They could either be due to your Crohn's, which can lead to abdominal distension and bowel changes. You should have this evaluated by your gastroenterologist and get a colonoscopy done to rule out any lesion the colon, which might be responsible for this. Long standing Crohn's can predispose to malignancy.
The other cause of your symptoms could be pre-menopausal hormonal changes and I would suggest that you visit an OBGYN and have your hormonal profile done.
Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.
