Cloudy stool? Big discharges of mucous?

[Crnalves]

Hi there, my boyfriend was diagnosed with UC in 2011 and all the symptoms he always experienced were diarrhea, big loss of weight and going plenty of times to the toilet. But recently the flare ups are not like that anymore, now he suffers with constipation, big discharges of mucous on the toilet (the water becomes cloudy) and when cleaning, the toilet paper is completely white. We wonder if anyone here had the same symptoms, because we can't figure out if this is related with UC or IBS/SIBO. We are waiting for the results of a stool test, but I would like to have more information while waiting. Thanks!

I presume you have now seen your gastroenterologist.The consultant will look after your symptoms.

Mucosal discharge is part of UC.
