Need to see doctor: If you are having chonic watery and especially bloody diarrhea with pain, you need to see your doctor. This means your symptoms are either out of control or you are having a Crohn's flare-up and need Rx meds. Do you have a doctor you see on a regular basis for your Crohn's? Are you or have you been on Rx meds for the Crohn's before? How was your Crohn's diagnosed?

Directed therapy: The best option is therapy for Crohn"s itself. I would contact your GI doc and discuss the bloody diarrhea. Sounds like your disease is not controlled and you are having pain. I would not suggest your take any OTC mediations. There are many options and therapies and most work. A call to your GI doc is needed ASAP.
