It could be. But equally, it might not be. It's impossible to know from symptoms alone, since there are many things which can cause stomach pain. The gastro should do a colonoscopy, a small bowel test such as a barium follow-through, and blood and stool tests to diagnose/rule out Crohn's.
The tests aren't lovely, but they are rarely painful. Usually the prepping for them part is the worst part. Good luck.
