A related discussion,
Mucus in colon was started.
I just wanted to say you might need to go to gastro. This same thing continued to happen to me last year, they at first thought it was a bit of colitis, but it continued I ended up in hospital and had C. Dificle an infection in my bowels. It was easily cleared up, but I was not pregnant either. Don't let it get out of hand, insist on them at least doing a stool sample. God Bless you and I will pray for you.
I was browsing the net on this subject and came upon this forum. I have been having the same problem. Reading your post was like you reading my mind. What I fear, etc. My stool has been this way for over a month. It's so frequent. I even suffer from accute gas and the mucous is expelled during this time too. It isn't expelled just during a bowel movement but the gas also. My gas is so severe that I have to relieve myself at least 30/40 times a day in the RR at work. It interferes with my job, etc. Though like you other than the mucous everything else is normal. Well my bowel movements are more frequent, but nothing really unordinary. What should I do, who should I see since my symptoms are a little different?
Dysentery? Unlikely! Symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea for dysentery, which is caused by bacteria from unhealthy and unsanitary living conditions and polluted water. I doubt "waiting" has experienced these conditions.
Mucus in the stool is seen with IBS symptoms, as well as colitis. Other gastrointestinal problems could cause this also. The specialty of doctor to see would be a gastroenterologist, they can do a stool test to determine the cause.
