Oh yes, very common. During a flare you do not wish to eat, eating causes pain and running to the toilet. You lose weight. Under treatment, the doctors encourage you to eat, you need to maintain your weight and energy levels. When the flare ends, you are happy to eat, amazed at how nice it is to eat and enjoy your food with no repercussions. You will gain weight, not always a bad thing if you can keep it under control because you are eventually going to have another flare up and start the cycle all over again.

How often is bariatric surgery for Crohns patients needed?
The best I can tell you is that bariatric programs with a large number of patients and with long-term follow-up may be able to offer statistics of patient numbers with Crohns. I am aware that a study was planned in 2006 but I have not been able to find the results. Bariatric surgery for Crohns patients would likely be low since active Crohns disease causes rapid weight loss and nutritional deficiencies. Doctors often recommend that patients with severe Crohns beef up a little as a hedge against the next crisis. Morbidly obese Crohns patients are not common.
Can Crohns disease cause weight loss?
There really can be no definitive answer to this question as every Crohns disease patient is physically different and the way the disease affects you can vary each and every time. Small weight loss can occur if your flare up is quickly under control. Many of us tend toward allowing the disease to really get bad before running to the doctors. As mild weight loss is usually part of the results when you are dealing with the pain and the other symptoms, it is often the least of our worries. Over the course of the flare up we lose weight and tend toward dehydration because even liquids can cause cramping signaling a need to run to the toilet. Over the course of a lenghthy flare up a loss of 20lbs or more is not uncommon. If you started at a healthy weight this may not be of concern, but if you were underwieght to begin with, it could be problematic to treatment outside of a hospital stay and IV nutrition.
