Having been recently diagnosed with Crohn's I 100% agree. Getting skinnier during a bad flare makes people think I'm in better health, because I look a certain way that aligns with their expectations, but it really just means my gut isn't absorbing any nutrients. Turns out being at my lowest weight in years was a Very Bad Thing and not a sign I was doing anything right.
Which, again, is an interesting juxtaposition with my partner who weighs more than me but whose body functions correctly and whose biomarkers come back normal, unlike mine.
