Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into the query I will like to tell you that most of the autoimmune diseases have overlapping features .So , by these features it will be difficult to say anything . But yes in my opinion there is a very high proabability of IBD associated arthritis as you are having crohns disease and you should be tested for HLAB27 gene for that .
You should discuss to your doctor regarding the IBD associated spondyloarthropathy as it needs to be ruled out before anything else .
Take care.
