Hi hunny don't no if this helps but I had my first flare up last summer after 10 years of been diagnosed and with me it was loss of taste and really bad weight loss which lead to been dehydrated I think there are lots of different flare ups!! fact is you will no when u have one and fingers crossed it will be a long time before you do xx

sorry forgot to say you should have a number for a specialist nurse who you contact if you think you are having a flare up and they will do your bloods for you

Get lots of rest, your body is working extra hard during a flare. Try to limit stress and alter your diet to what works best for you--often for Crohn's patients during a flare that means low residue. Always keep your GI doc up to date and ask for help if you need it.
