Question 1

i have yellow mucus in stool every time i have a bowl movement?

Accepted Answer

Proctitis? Colitis?: This probably indicates some sort of inflammation of the rectum or lower colon, especially if there is also pain, discomfort, diarrhea, or a sense of blockage of bowel movements. Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or proctitis) are possible. Chlamydia, gonorrhea or herpes are possible if at risk for STDs. See a doctor soon. Good luck!

Get checked: While the change in lifestyle and diet could explain the weight loss, mucus in stool is not  normal and I would see a doc and get some blood tests done and possibly a colonoscopy

Question 4

watery yellow mucus in stool, also small runny, pebble-like stool for the past couple of days. just had diarrhea too. what could the cause of this be?

Accepted Answer

Unsure: Think of seeing your MD and getting stools checked for culture and C. Difficle. Watch for any blood which may warrant a colonoscopy. It may be the resolution of your problem, so with lots of fluids in addition to progressing your diet, it is safe to watch. Be seen for any fever, vomiting or abdominal pain that persists. All the best.

Question 5

what causes yellow/white mucus in stools?

Accepted Answer

: This can be from swallowed mucous if someone is congested or also could be an intestinal infection. If it continues please contact your doctor.

Question 6

what is it if you see a small trace of blood and yellow mucus in your stool?

Accepted Answer

Unsure: Could be an intolerance to something like dairy.  Could be a one time event.  If you develop any other symptoms such as blood or cramping, i would get checked.

Question 7

what causes yellow mucus to occur in stool, accompanied by lots of gas, and slight mushy but in balls?

Accepted Answer

Good possibilities: 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, &amp; even from secretory villous tumors of the rectum. Stool studies &amp; exam should help to at least start addressing some of these possibilities.

Question 8

recently i see yellow/brownish mucus in my stool often.i have 1-2 bm's/day. not much strain/non completeness. stool is mushy always. not tarry. i'v seen very little bright blood in mucus in few occasions.no tendernss. hvy fart. hb 14. is this ca sym?

Accepted Answer

See your physician: Recent yellowish/brown mucus with a few occasions of small amounts of bright blood in the mucus is of  concern. Inflammatory bowel disease, infectious conditions, malabsorption disorders  and cancer are all a possibility. However further evaluation may reveal just hemorrhoidal bleeding and nothing else serious. **It is very important that you see your physician to evaluate your symptoms.

Question 9

yellow/brown mucus in stool constipation burping food back up severe bloating borborygmi lots of excess wind constant abdomen tenderness have anxiety ?

Accepted Answer

?infection: Your symptoms, especially if they started fairly suddenly may be a sign of an infection. Anxiety can certainly cause gastrointestinal symptoms, but it should not cause mucous in the the stool.

Fiber and water: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods.
