Hai.... I think your concern regarding Crohns is understandable especially with a family history being positive. There is no specific age limit for Crohns and I suggest you get her evaluated by a gastroenterologist and she might even require endoscopy. Happy to help anytime and if you are happy with my answer...kindly rate it.
