Hi and thanks for the query, I think you might a proper clinical review. Crohn s disease presents differently and a colonoscopy could be more helpful than blood tests. This shall permit to visualize the colon to visualize the characteristic thickening or ulcerations observed in Crohn s disease. The abdominal symptoms you present do not however actually make this diagnosis likely. Common conditions like Irritable Bowel Syn Chat Doctor.  Thanks and kind regards. Bain LE, MD.
