Go to ER OR A DOCTOR: if you have acute diverticulitis you need a proper treatment pending the stages of your infection that will be be assessed by physical examination and CT scan if mild you stay on light diet and take oral antibiotic if moderate or severe you need IV antibiotic and IV fluid and you might have to stay fasting to prevent complicated diverticulitis that could mean surgery.so go and see a doctor please

Question 2

what causes mucus from the rectum when you pass gas?

Accepted Answer

Mucus on stool: Mucus discharge occurs in up to 50% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome, with or without pain. Mucus may also be produced in response to partial obstruction, chronic constipation, rectal dysfunction, infection, ; even from secretory villous tumors of the rectum. At the very least stool studies ; probably a sigmoidoscopy should be considered, but a more extensive evaluation may be warranted.

Question 3

what can be causing my all of  sudden loud noisy gassy bowels and passing of mucus when passing gas. it's noisy and explosive.

Accepted Answer

Pass Gas & Mucus: The passing of gas and mucus are common signs of "food poisoning, " or some kind of infection. It usually clears up in a few days. There are some other GI diseases that also present this way that are not infectious. If the symptoms don't clear in a day or two and/ or you notice blood in the stools, develop a fever, or experience intermittent or constant lower abdominal pain, see your doctor.

Question 4

my 28 month boy has in last 6 days started passing excessive/xplosive gas with quite a bit of mucus.  stools seem normal when they happen.

Accepted Answer

Intolerance: He has developed an aquire Mal - digestion problem.  Most of the time this is difficulty digesting sugars in the riet. He may have had a little GI bug, and lost the ability to digest those dietary sugars like lactose, sucrose and fructose. Go to a high protein, low fiber diet with complex carbohydrates,  avoiding juices, dairy,  and simple sugars. Add in a probiotic  daily as well.

Question 5

went to pass gas this a.m. instead mucus came out. around 1/4 cup guess. im on no meds. i have had hemmoroids lately. i have gad and this is horrible?

Accepted Answer

Rectal mucus: Inflamed hemorrhoids can cause bleeding and pain. Rectal irritation associated with hemorrhoids may cause increase in mucus production as it tries to compensate for the inflammation. I would address it with your doc if you've not done it yet. He may choose to drop a small scope in the office to look inside of your rectum to rule out other possible causes.

Question 6

hi.. i am suffering from gas with mucus per rectum from yesterday... i feel like to defeacate .. but only gas and mucus is passing.. i am worried now.

Accepted Answer

The symptoms you: describe sound consistent with a medical term we call tenesmus.  It's difficult to determine what the cause is with only one day's worth of history.  It could be as simple as constipation, or more complicated like proctitis.

Question 7

so i have been having an issue with hemmoroids, is it normal to have yellow mucus stuff come out when you have to use the bathroom ?  or if im using the bathroom and i pass gas i usually just see yellow stuff in the toilet, im not sure what to do

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhoids : This can be one of the symptoms of hemorrhoids, what I suggest is going to a specialist, a coloproctologist in this case to get a physical examination and recieve the correct treatment

Question 8

constipated but able to go very little bits. felt the urge to go and only  a lot of mucus came out. i am able to pass gas. should i go to the er?

Accepted Answer

Primary care doctor: Each person with constipation needs to be sure there is no other disease causing it. If constipation is just due to slow movement of the food and poop through the gut, then the things to try are vegetables, water, prune juice, prunes, fiber+water, Miralax, Senokot or other senna, milk of magnesia, other laxatives... The Dr. can evaluate and may sometimes prescribe drugs such as Linzess or Amitiza (lubiprostone).

Question 9

is occasional clear mucus leakage when passing gas normal somtimes? i know the rectum and anus naturally produce mucus; cause for concern though?

Accepted Answer

: Probably normal and no concern. However, if your anal area has been sexually exposed -- especially if you have receptive anal sex ("bottom") with other men -- get checked for STDs, especially gonorrhea and chlamydia. Also get checked if any other anal or rectal symptoms like diarrhea, pain, bleeding, etc.
