A member asked:
Had colonoscopy & pillcam - no view of cecum on either. no dx. lots of mucus in stool (occasionally only mucus), pain, early satiety, etc. what now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucus: You could try an old fashioned barium enema to view the Cecum if it wasn't adequately viewed on colonoscopy. Your symptoms suggest irritable bowel syndrome with mucus colitis. Have you been tested for gluten intolerance or sensitivity? Have you tried the fodmap diet? Discuss these with your gastroenterologist or get a second opinion.
