I'd make sure your iron is in check. It isn't absorbed well at the best of times, and with Crohn's that's going to be worse. I'd get a blood draw if you can afford it, to test for all the anemia markers (iron, B12, and folate being the biggest culprits)
If you don't want to get a blood draw, eat more red meat with vitamin C containing foods (they increase absorption) and away from dairy (calcium inhibits iron absorption). A modest iron supplement (something like 15-30mg) is good to try. Here's an example of one, try it with orange juice or a piece of fruit to increase absorption: http://www.amazon.com/Solgar-Gentle-BISGLYCINATE-Vegetable-Capsules/dp/B00013Z0QA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426804025&sr=8-3&keywords=iron+supplement
I hate regular iron because it makes me super constipated but I've been taking iron bisglycinate instead and it's a world of difference. I take [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00013Z0QA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1517767647&sr=8-1&keywords=solgar+iron) one.
Solgar Gentle Iron
I did well with gentle iron when I only needed more minor supplementation and during pregnancy with no side effects. Now I take slow Fe (much higher dose) and there's occasional constipation.
My midwife suggested these and I've had no problems, even taking them twice a day.
