:sign0085: I was wondering if someone or maybe a few of the members could give me some advice on some of the symptoms I am having. One is in my lower abdomen area I look like I am a pregnant man :lol: I was wondering is that part of the inflammation I am having from Crohn's and a blockage area? Another question I have is at time especially after a serious diarrhea episode and after I make sure I am completely clean down there I feel something leaking out of my anus and then I check my underwear to make sure it is not a BM stain what I see is a clear wet spot is this a type of infection liquid or pus leaking out? I also want to let you all know I have found an advocate and I have talked to her about all this and she said it is a pus type of liquid that leaks out and at a very bad inflammation time I can look like I am pregnant I guess what I really would like to know from you guys is has something like this happened to you? One last thing is this while I was talking to my advocate who is a RN said that I probably have stage 2 Crohn's disease. I am just very worried about everything before I go see the gastrologist. I also want to let everyone know that this is the best Crohn's forum web site I have ever been too because everyone is very friendly and helpful and I want to say thanks to everyone.

Hi riclow and a big welcome to the forum. Glad you found us. I remember too having so many questions when Crohn's was first mentioned to me and forgetting or not having time to ask them at my doctor/hospital appointments. It's a worrying time, I know 
In answer to your questions, both the bloating and leakage that you describe are very common symptoms of active Crohn's disease.
When are you seeing your gastro?

Yikes, that's quite a long time to wait to see someone, but it's one of the frustrations of having this disease. Have you seen the GI before? Are you on any medication ?
