While Crohns itself may not cause gallstones. It is thought to be related to depletion of the bile salt pool due either to terminal ileal disease or after ileal resection. Bile acids are not absorbed normally, the body becomes depleted of bile acids, and less bile acids are secreted in bile. There are not enough bile acids to keep cholesterol dissolved in bile, and gallstones form. Symptoms of gall bladder disease can be masked by the similar symptoms of Crohn's. Many Crohns patients eventually have their gall bladder removed.
