constipation
Ileus is a functional rather than mechanical obstruction of the bowel. It is a lack of propulsive peristalsis (wave-like movement) of the bowel. It stops the movement of bowel contents downward. There is abdominal distention and an absence of bowel sounds.
Constipation is primarily caused by a lack of dietary fiber, inadequate fluid intake, and a sedentary lifestyle. Other contributing factors can include certain medications, medical conditions (such as irritable bowel syndrome or hypothyroidism), and ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement. Stress and changes in routine can also disrupt normal bowel function. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and regular physical activity are key to preventing constipation.
Diarrhea can cause dehydration, a lack of fluid in the body.inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease, and commonly leads to longer bouts of diarrhea.

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.
