Best Answer

Yes, a Crohns patient can present with signs of constipation. What is actually happening is more likely to be a blockage. A Crohns flare will narrow or severely restrict the bowel and an obstruction is very possible. Little or no fecal matter will be expelled and the bowel will back up causing severe pain. Vomiting, pain and bloating can occur to the point of hospitalization.
