Crohn's is an inflammatory bowel disease. The exact cause is unknown although there are many theories. It usually affects the small bowel, but can involve any of the alimentary tract and other organs too. Some people are made worse by certain types of food, but peanut butter is not specifically considered a problem. Some Crohn's suffere's may choose to avoid it if they find it aggravating.

I love peanut butter and jam but I am trying to eat healthier is peanut butter and jam still OK to eat?
Peanut Butter is high in fats. Jelly is high in sugar. The best thing to do is use as little peanut butter as you can and still get the flavor. Try using whole fruit spreads rather than jelly, it will have only natural sugar levels. I would suggest organic peanut butter; it is healthier. And also don't worry about eating pb&j because it has a lot of the protein that you need. I suggest going vegan/vegetarian because then you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want, and eat as much of it as you want and your weight will only fluctuate about 1-3 pounds (referring to bowel movements here) Sources from: future nutritionist

Nuts Peanuts and almonds are great natural foods to make you poop.

Various things can cause a blockage of the bowel. You could have stricture formation, which is a scar tissue band that grows around the path of the organ - restricting the flow of material. Hernias are a common cause of bowel blockage as a part of the intestine protrudes beyond the abdominal wall, pinching the intestine shut. Tumors and other masses also cause bowel obstructions. There could also be intestine twisting, which is a phenomenon with many causes but the obstruction is caused by the intestine being improperly twisted shut. I'm sure there are a lot more reasons for bowel obstruction that I cannot think of right now.
