A member asked:

Mucus in poop, at least once a week, swollen belly sometimes hurts. possibly ibs but never diagnosed, not sure if its related to gluten or lactose intolerance as i also have never been diagnosed ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maldigestion likely: Best Strategy is to remove dairy (1mo to get out of system) and grains (3mo to get out of system). Working with a good functional medicine doctor should be very helpful https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner/. Best Wishes
