Thick mucus! Anyone else have this? **graphic pics**

[Bigred84]

Hi everyone, I’ve just found this site and reading through so many similar stories to my own.

I have been having serious problems with stomach pain and spasms with bowel issues for 4 months. In all from December I have had 5 red flag referrals sent from my GP and an A&E doctor.

My symptoms are I physically can not pass anything solid anymore. If I don’t take my 5 laxido, 3 docusate sodium and a micro enima every day then the extreme spasms and pain are so bad I almost pass out. If I eat anything heavy I’m back in the toilet vomiting it back up within minutes.

I’ve had blood several times from my back passage, 2 very bad bleeds from my front lasting 3 weeks then 2 weeks since December so I was red flagged for a smear (which was fine), my bowel, bladder and cervix are all now prolapsed.

My urine has been tested 3 times and all have come back with blood but no sign of infection so I have been red flagged by Urology for a Cystoscope (still waiting).

My Calprotectin came back as 300 but that was the start of January and hasn’t been tested since. It was a doctor in A&E that give me my result when I had to go to hospital due to crippling pain in my abdominal and pain in my lower back and hips, I couldn’t even walk, my partner had to take me in a wheelchair. They done an X-ray of my abdomin and my entire intestines were blocked with feces (that’s when they started me on all the laxatives and said I must continue with these until I get sorted. She said it could possibly be Crohns?

My FIT test came back as 10 which I realise isn’t too high but the consultant that rang me about that said they consider it a positive result because their cut off for negative is 7.

I received a letter and prep along with a bottle of contrast dye. My appointment is in the cancer clinic for a CT Colonograpy on the 29th this month.

The waiting has been horrendous due to Covid, it’s so frustrating when you just feel so sore and fatigued all the time and just wait and wait.

Does anyone else pass mucus like this, everyone including my doctor said they’ve never seen anything like it? This is now at least a few times a week.

Thank you if you managed to read this far 😄🙏🌈

If there is no blood or related color bright red or dark ,there should be fine,i am not a doctor but it might be the combination of build up laxative extract and fecal things.Not every cramp is associated with crohn and not every collitis liked to crohns or ulcerative collitis.Dont worry everything is gonna be alright ! Stay safe

It’s definitely not connected to the laxatives because I’ve been passing this in large quantities before being put on the laxatives. I have passed blood many times but I’m more concerned at the sheer amount of mucus I pass, a lot of times it’s literally like rubber!

Try and change your diet if you can eat wholesome foods to get bowels moving also drink peppermint and other soothing herbal teas I take natural cleansing herbs and pot of herbal tea after evening meal ! I suffer from colitis my consultant said cramps will go once your bowels are clear and it does work !Marshmallow root tea is also good for inflammation.

Not diet related either. I’m Gluten intolerant so already steer clear from that and eat a pretty good diet. When I say I can’t pass anything solid I really mean it’s impossible, it’s like something is blocking the passage. If I don’t take all the laxatives to make sure it’s liquid then the pain is horrendous and I pass soft very flat poops but my body physically has to try to force even that out.

I do drink herbal teas as I prefer them 🙏😊 have never tried marshmallow root tea though, must give it a try!

I have ulcerative colitis and get mucus but not to the extent of yours. I hope you get sorted soon and get the results that you want
