A member asked:

Started off with thin, flaky like stool, not diarrhea though x1 month. then last night it was thick mucous with streaks of blood. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Age and diet: are very important in stool texture cand character. The change in character and blood are of concern, but difficult to interpret without knowing more. If bleeding persists, see a doctor.
