Your poor husband! I am sending out prayers that he gets better soon.

FYI, I have Crohn's disease, and his symptoms don't really sound like traditional Crohn's to me, but anything is possible! The weight loss and the bowel bleeding, alone with anemia, are all classic Crohn's, but the spleen issue is not. Also, white blood cell counts are generally high with Crohn's, not low, due to systemic inflammation. Also, going 7 years between flare-ups, while not impossible, is highly unlikely, IMO.

Anyway, I hope they figure out what is wrong with him, and that it isn't anything too serious.
