I looked it up, and you're right - it's caused by inflammation, which makes sense for us, considering what we have and why we're all here.Wizbit said:I've always assumed that excess bowel mucus is caused in the same way excess sinus mucus is - by irritation.
mucus comes from the intestines, which is normal sometimes. but sometimes it's caused my inflammation and irritation, and sometimes what you see could be mucus mixed with puss because of the inflammation. My doctor prescribed me some Bactrin antibiotics for it and i'm on it right now. For nausea she put me on promethazine and also gave me donnatal for the diarrhea crampingNausea said:I think i have mucus in my stool, but im not possitive. What signs am i looking for? Should i be concerned?
Whoa handfuls? Hmm that would be a bit freaky, and definitely unmistakable! I don't seem to lose very much.GirlFriday said:Yah. I am lucky enough to get this one pretty badly too. I'm not sure how much you are losing? Mine is often handfuls, and trust me there is no mistaking that.
Yeah got this, just the other day...yay.Santos61198 said:Speaking of TMI... mine was just green... so IDK.
yea thats one issue I don't want to relive. Somebody's sig on here says "never trust a fart". And every time I see it I am reminded of a particularly dreadful afternoon on a construction worksite :yrolleyes:Lisa5326 said:Sometimes it can be a glistening sheath, instead of strings, also...mine, besides whitish can be red/brownish or yellow/brownish also. Also, mine tends to be at the beginning of a stay on the toilet. One may also fart mucous also...which is fairly obvious.
Need I be more descriptive? HAHA yikes
I'd agree with that. I have an ileostomy -- which basically means my back passage is out of use at the min -- but I still get mucus coming out of there.SLee05 said:mucus comes from the intestines, which is normal sometimes.
