The fecal calprotectin stool test can measure inflammation markers and blood work also shows inflammation, both of which can point to Crohn's. There are also blood tests called Serology 7 that look at a bunch of different indicators for Crohn's. Usually, doctors don't confirm the diagnosis without a positive biopsy on colonoscopy, or clearly visualized disease with the pill cam test. I hope that helps
