Crohn's disease involving both the lower part of the small intestine and the colon, or ileocolitis, generally causes cramps, abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea but also bloody stools. The cramping after meals may be caused by partial obstruction and inflammation of the small bowel.About 80 percent of patients with ileitis or ileocolitis develop diarrhea with an increase in daily bowel movements. Crohn's colitis, or inflammation confined to the colon, causes abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea.Crohn's disease in the ileum or the colon may lead to abscesses, fistulas, and bowel obstruction.

Crohnâs disease causes chronic inflammation and erosion of the intestines or bowel. It can affect different regions of the bowel, stomach, or intestines. There are five different types of Crohnâs disease, each affecting different parts of the digestive tract. Thereâs no known cause of Crohnâs disease. Experts think that it may be due to the immune system reacting to food or bacteria in the intestines or bowel lining. This is thought to cause the uncontrolled inflammation associated with Crohnâs disease. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the disease. Each of the five types of Crohnâs disease is associated with its own symptoms and specific regions of the digestive tract: ileocolitis; ileitis; gastroduodenal Crohnâs disease; jejunoileitis; Crohnâs colitis; Sometimes people experience more than one type of Crohnâs disease at the same time.
