Mucas?

[Kpops]

Does anybody else suffer with Mucas in their stools? I seem to get this quite a lot, sometimes to the point where I think I really need the loo, but when I go it's only Mucas/water that's there.

Yes I do but only occasionally and usually after I have slipped up and eaten something which affects me.

Yes, I get this lot. Mostly it is orangey in colour and I find it quite worrying but neither the GP nor the gastroenterologist seems to have ever heard of it!

[Hidden in reply to nedds]

Hi Orangey would be acid. Might be an idea to talk to your GP, for antacids , to reduce this.

Thank you, that is interesting as I appear to have developed "silent reflux" during the last couple of years.

Glad to help, hope you get it sorted.🤔

I do its horrible and somwtimes like u think i need the bathroom but its just mucus. Seems to be more when iv eaten things that don't like me worst one being fizzy juice 😔 What id give for a diet coke x

[Kpops in reply to Montykat]

It is horrible! I can't really put mine down to any food trigger, it just seems to happen quite a lot and drives me mad, along with other ibs symptoms!

Yes I frequently get it when I have exercised i.e. I power walk as much as I can, maybe 2-3 times a week.  I either walk normally or cycle the rest of the time.  It seems so wrong that when you are doing something that is good for you you suffer.

yes - i get this too. Seen consultant and had colonoscopy and was told I have diverticulitis and to increase fibre.  Dont need to go back to consultant. But still get the mucus/water. Wear a panty liner if you are going out for any length of time - this helps in case of any embarrassing leaks xxx
