A member asked:

I've had diarrhea for a day and now it's just mucus and blood...what is causing this? how do i treat it?

See gi doc: You may need to have a colonoscopy to determine if there is any colitis. At the minimum you should have stool tested for infections and inflammation markers. Hope this helps.
