Suggest Treatment For Crohn S Disease

I have Crohn s Disease and have had chronic diarrhea for days. My GI doc is testing me for C diff (no results yet) and I will start antibiotics this afternoon. Have been very ill and then today there were curd- like lumps in the very green liquid diarrhea. do you know what this might e snd what might be causing it? It is definitely not empty casings from capsule pills.
