From time to time I experience having mucus appear on the toilet paper when l have had a BM.
Tonight, for the first time ever, I think l may have passed mucus whilst going for a pee. This has happened a couple of times this evening. Has anyone else experienced this? My anxiety currently through the roof!

Hi MountainHare1. I have this on occasion mainly if I'm loose but also on occasion with constipation. I feel it's quite common with ibs. If your concerned I would put your mind at rest and speak to your doctor.
Yes I have had this happen many times over the years and i can understand your anxiety too as IBS is always throwing random symptoms at us interestingly I have gradually been increasing daily fibre intake over the last year (I get mostly IBSC) and this seems to have stopped
I also get this from time to time since I took Alflorex, which changed my bowel habit from IBS-D to IBS-M (though I consider that an improvement , which is why I continue to take it). I think, because the pelvic floor muscles are interconnected, opening the lower urinary sphincter can relax the anal sphincter, causing the release of any mucous remaining in the anal canal after a BM. I’m just grateful for any improvement, so I’ve put up with the slight discharge.
