This morning having diareah that is causing much burning and inflammation at fissure site. Some blood with stool/wiping from fissure. The more bm s the more pain I feel, and just this last time there was only minimal stool that was light brown and appeared like a mucus/ tissue substance. Is this a sign of something more serious happening?

Hello,
* The blood in stool in a patient with Crohn`s disease always make a strong possibility of the same being related to each other with intestine inflammation giving blood in motion.
* Guidelines at present
- maintain hydration with plenty of liquids
- high fiber diet with bulk-forming laxatives
- dietary precautions to avoid all types of spices
- sitz bath regularly
- continue all current medications provided by your doc
* Do give follow up within next 2 days about the progress of the issue and decide the further line of action.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
