A member asked:

What can be the reason of dark brown, dark red mucus in stool? can it be due to unhealed anal fissure? but i don't feel anal fissure pain now, just a little burning after bowel. i don't have any pain in abdomen + calprotectin+crp tests are ok?

An unhealed fissure might be the cause, but unlikely if the bloody mucus is mixed with stool. Having had CRP and calprotectin tests suggests you have a doctor who is evaluating you for inflammatory bowel disease. You should address this question to that doctor. Or if you've veen testing yourself on your own, without professional advice, find a doctor, ideally a gastroenterologist.
