Absolutely...: But remember that one can mimick the other, whereas ibs is a symptom complex while crohn's is a lifelong disease process--the treatments and prognoses of which are entirely different.

Yes!: Many patients with crohn's disease also suffer from ibs. No one really understands why this is. An ibs diagnosis is only made in my opinion if your get a full colonoscopy an upper endoscopy and the pathology results are normal. This would indicate that your crohns is in remission and cannot be blamed for ongoing intestinal symptoms. Hope this helps.
