Recognizing the Nine Indicators of Crohn's Disease

2. Abdominal Pain and Cramping

People with Crohn's disease tend to feel recurrent bouts of abdominal ache and cramping. For many patients, this may be the only symptom to occur for a long while, and the disease may go undetected on account of the abdominal discomfort not being taken too seriously. You usually feel this pain in the upper abdominal region, and bloating and flatulence accompany it. In some instances, the pain may be debilitating to the extent that you can't carry out daily activities. If this is the case, seek out professional medical care.
