Mushroom in stool?

[Jay5511]

Hello.

I had mushrooms with my dinner last night and this morning I noticed I passed mushrooms in my stools. I have been diagnosed with IBS. Just wondering if this is normal? I’ve previously noticed carrots, corn, tomatoes etc.

Perfectly fine especially corn corn always goes in one way out the other way as if it were never eaten crazy huh? Our bodies cant break them down lol

Ah that’s okay then, worried me as I have a fear of colon cancer & initially I thought it was black blood or something. But nope it was a mushroom! - Yeah it is really strange how the corn comes out looking untouched! Lol

When you find mushrooms in your stool and you havnt been eating them, then you can worry

Yes I have had this too, it's always worse when my anxiety flares up. I swear I once freaked out because I ate a salad and it came out almost completely undigested 😵 my Dr explained it as the increase in adrenaline with anxiety causes food to move through the system too quickly sometimes. I also suffer from IBS but if you're ever worried just check with your gp. It's totally normal to have undigested food in stools though 😊

While im not sure about the tomatoes, i can explain the mushrooms. Certain foods have chitin in them. Mushrooms are one of those foods. Im not going to go into much detail due to the fact that this post is quite old, but you just have to chew foods with chitin very good or else your stomach wont digest them properly.
