Rectal mucous: Solutions?

[tough]

Hello,

As I've started my third decade with Crohn's disease I've begun to have clear mucous discharge from my anus. I don't see mucous in bowel movement. It's mostly uncomfortable (anus gets irritated) and I'm self-conscious.

I'm wondering if anyone has had success dealing with this. For instance do enemas help?

I have not had to deal with it. I would consult with your doctor.

I too and in my third decade of diagnosis, and am having the same problem.
I have a colonoscopy on Tuesday. I will let you know what the Dr says. Annoying to say the least

@tots -- curious what your doctor said about this.

He said he didn't find any evidence of active disease, so he not sure about the mucus, cramping, diarrhea or joint pain.

I am pretty sure there is not a lot more I can handle right now, my life is a *&%$ show right now and feeling like I am begging for medical care is not helping. Between my husbands diagnosis last month, pancreatic cancer, Liberty Mutual screwing up my disability Ins I am done!!

I've eliminated a lot of these symptoms by reducing sugar in my diet. When i have sugar my fistula's, gas, and mucous increase. Some of which also increas pain. My joints also feel better with no sugar.

I'm a sugar addict so i do slip up sometimes, which has only corroborated my theory.

Good luck.
