A 32 year male presented to our clinic with chronic iron deficiency anemia. Fecal occult blood was positive. Upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy were normal. Capsule endoscopy revealed multiple jejunal and ileal ulcers with multiple sites of bleeding. A diagnosis of Crohn's disease was entertained and he was treated with mesalamine, thalidomide and parenteral iron therapy.
