A member asked:

For couple weeks, i have bathroom issue. like cramping at times but i have noticed possibly mucus in stool. like jelly-like and on stool like white mucus i think. no blood, i can eat still. stool frequency has changed. i tend to google so im scared?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mucus: I regard this as mucus colitis or irritable bowel syndrome. The presence of mucus is not a sign of serious pathology. Can you identify any food or stress that triggers loose bowel movements? Have you noted bouts of cramping & loose stools in the past? A fodmap diet(Google it) can be helpful. I don't think you have inflammatory bowel disease or an infection. Consult a gastroenterologist as needed.
