If blood in stool has been excluded, you do not need to be concerned about it. Visit this site for information on food that may be useful for IBS. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/fodmap-diet-what-you-need-to-know

When something is of concern to you, however one explains, it’s of no use. Faith in the physician comes with time and continued veracity of the physician. One thing is certain that all the physicians are in fiduciary relationship with their patients, meaning they can do only good to their patients. Hence relax, you just report the symptoms and leave all concerns for them. Hope it helps .

I have had tiny bit of mucus on and off in stool for almost a year. Drs say it is likely IBS. No blood or worsening symptoms. I have been afraid to do a colonoscopy or CT colonoscopy. I had negative FIT test last year. Are there other alternatives?

Light stool color every so often. No pain. No blood. No issues. Light but still brown, not yellow or green and solid. Just concerned because its not the common darker brown. Fairly healthy diet, no alcohol. Omeprazole occasionally, have IBS?
