Does anyone have Crohn’s Disease that suffers with extreme Constipation?

I’m currently 15 years old. I’ve been having problems with my digestive system for about 2 years. I suffer from extreme constipation. The only thing that really helps me is if I just pop a laxitive whenever I get too constipated. ( yes I know that’s not healthy). I’ve been reading on the internet about Crohn’s Disease and constipation can be one of the symptoms, but its rare because most people have diareaha. I have expeirenced all the other classic symptoms of Crohn’s except I have extreme Constipation.I have pain off and on. I go a couple of months without too much pain.I normally get pain on my lower right abdominal and now I’ve been having this sharp pain in the middle of my abdominal like in the area of my small intestine.I’ve had a colonscopy and an endonoscopy and they came back normal, but they don’t check all of your small intestine when they preform that, so its is possible to have inflamation in your small intestine?I’d love to talk with someone who shares this.

Is it okay for a Crohn’s Disease patient to take one Imodium each morning, before school?

My daughter is in a severe flare, but she has insisted on returning to school. Though her teachers and fellow students have been completely accommodating of her frequent need to use the restroom, it would be great if she didn’t have to worry about it, at least for a few hours. I know about the rare instance of toxic megacolon, but do you think it would be okay for her to take one Imodium in the morning, before she leaves home for the day? Thank you.

A year and a half ago i was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease.
Nobody seems to know what it is.
Could anyone tell me just how rare this disease really is?
