A member asked:

I've had constipation for a while, colonoscopy came back fine. recently what i pass is half a yellow fatty substance attached to it. what can this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mucus: The substance may be mucus mixed with your stool. If you're taking any iron preparations, this can cause constipation. Drink enough fluids, eat enough fiber or take metaucil. Also try a preparation of a stool softener and gentle stimulant like pericolace twice a day.If you're pregnant or breast feeding check with your md first.
