A member asked:

Okay diarrhea the last 2 days. 2day its was watery & i'm now having clear sticky mucus when i go 2 the restroom. should i be worried or is it normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lots to consider...: Any recent exposures, travel, ingestants, new drugs, stress?The GI tract has a very limited # of symptoms to signal its distress--nausea/vomiting, diarrhea/constipation, bloating, pain, fullness, bleeding, etc. May result from inflammatory, infectious, ischemic, malabsorptive, and functional disorders. Directed lab work, imaging, biopsies, stool studies are appropriate, esp. If diarrhea persists.
