Hi everyone. I have been in urso almost a month now and I noticed my stools, sorry to be so personal, seem to now have white mucus in them . Is this normal with urso . Why would this happen now and not before I took meds?

If you look up the information on ursodeoxycholic acid one of the listed most common side effects is pale faeces and diarrhoea. No doubt this is something to do with how the medication works in dealing with bile.

Ive been on URSO 10 years now at the beginning it did cause me some tummy issues like indigestion and diarrhoea. However It sounds like your describing fatty stool, which could have many causes, I’d go and have a word with your GP or a pharmacist just to be sure.

Hi tnchikadee

Any change in bowel habit should always be investigated by your own doctors. We would suggest you consider seeing your GP.

Best wishes
