Weight loss: Weight loss can be a worrying sign of active Crohn's disease, regardless of your ability to eat. Active Crohn's disease burns calories, and you can lose calories in your stools. It sounds like your Crohn's disease could be under better control. You should talk to your doctor about how well controlled your Crohn's disease is.
