Can Low Hemoglobin Count Leads To Crohn's Disease And Back Pain?

I am a 52 year old female with Crohn's disease. I continue to have a low hemoglobin count of 10.0 to 11.0. Could this be caused solely by crohn's? I also have chronic low back pain and it get's worse after eating. Is this also associated with crohn's disease?
