Likely normal: Unless there is some info of ur history that I am missing...Nothing abnormal. Sometimes bile has yellow color, or it may reflect the previous feeding. Mucus is cormon in the colon.

Dangerous: Colonic cleansing especially hydrotherapy can be quite harmful. Excessive colon cleansing may actually harm the bowel’s ability to function properly by weakening the colon muscles, thus making them less efficient. Certain medications used can cause kidney damage. There are reports of colonic perforation after hydrotherapy. Furthermore there is no proven benefit in any of this.
