A member asked:
Mucus in stool - history of ibs, upper left back pain when laying down, ct came clear, should i be worried? could be something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: something completely different from IBS as this does not cause your symptoms. Neg CT depends how it was done and what area was visualized and whether contrast was used and via what route. Best to see your PCP and get a referral to a specialist who can ask and get much more detailed information than you have provided here
