10 Symptoms of Crohn's Disease You Should Be Aware Of
Bloating

Bloating is inevitable as inflammation starts to build up in the intestines. In many cases, extreme bloating is the first visible sign of Crohn’s disease. Clothing may become painful or uncomfortable to wear as it presses down on the abdomen, causing pressure. Excess gas and tummy gurgles or sounds may also accompany bloating. Bloating is worse when Crohn’s disease is active, or when a flare-up occurs. It may take place in both the upper and lower parts of the abdomen.
Belly Pain

Shortly after feelings of being unwell and fatigue hit, a person with Crohn’s disease might start to experience belly pain. The pain may become progressively worse if the flare is left untreated. Pain may be felt anywhere in the digestive tract but is most common in the lower abdominal area. A person with Crohn’s disease may also start to develop pain while using the bathroom or trying to eat and drink.
