Crohn's can be from mouth to anus, so it's certainly possible that's what you've got. I'm not really surprised that your GI would be skeptical.
I doubt, if I asked my old GI to take a look at my mouth when I've had these issues, that he would even have an available tongue depressor in his office with which to do so. My limited experience with several GIs, and frankly with most specialists I've seen, is that they seem to ignore what's going on with the rest of the body as if it didn't exist. He would look at me like a deer in the headlights whenever I talked about my arthritis or eye problems. I know they're not all that way.
