Mucus, Mucus and more mucus

[barelyalive]

Been flaring for over a month straight, constantly bloated and now the last two days I have been farting out mucus only about 10 times. Last two days have had only one meal per day and ensure for the other two.



Should I be extra concerned?

I think that should warrant a call to you doc. Anything that's drastically different for you should be cause for concern, IMO.

Good luck -Amy

I agree with Amy. Mucus is one of my biggest issues. It was actually my first and only symptom which led me to set up my initial appt. with a GI. I immediately had a colonoscopy which led to my diagnosis. I had inflammation and ulcers in my TI and my rectum. My GI thinks the mucus was being produced by the ulcers in my rectum. Of course, this may not be the case with you, but it is worth getting checked out.

Hardly eating and tons of mucus? Yes, I'd be concerned. Hopefully you've contacted your GI by now and have made an appointment. I wish you luck.

Mucus in general is a sign of inflammation. Leaking mucus is another matter altogether. Neither one is a good sign.
