A member asked:

I know chrons /ibd causes diahrea but can it cause constipation or even normal stool ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes...: Crohn's patients can but less commonly present with normal stool or constipation. When crohn's is active the most common symptom is pain and diarrhea. Good luck!
