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 ocnditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome should at some point be considered and managed accordingly too. thanks and kind regards.
