I did for a while. I was terrified. My gastroenterologist said it was fairly common and not serious. Check with your own doctor, though.

This is normal, particularly for IBS-C. Are you constipated? The body sometimes produces extra mucus to help ease out stools. If so you may need to work on this with diet.

Hi guys new to this IBS thing. Had same mucus thing for couple of months now on and off with trapped wind as well and freaked me out. Stool sample and bloods normal so guessing just IBS. 49 so perimenopausal and think that also affects day digestion etc.
