Yes. If the disease is active in and around the ileum or if the ileum (where the large and small bowel join) has been removed. The ileum is the part of the bowel that absorbs B12 and a lack of vitamin B12 results in anemia. Crohn's also can cause bleeding in the bowel and this can be quite heavy at times, this loss of blood can also cause anemia.
Also, since some people may have bloody bowel movements, losing blood is also present here. This loss of blood can also cause anemia. In fact, anemia is a very common sign in Crohn's Disease- which is why many "Crohnies" take iron pills.
