Can great anxiety lead to slimy stools?

I have not been eating much because I've been so anxious and when I do eat it's little and soft foods.

But my stool is slimy like mucus. I do not have pain in my abdomen it's just making those I'm hungry and anxious grumbling sounds.

Sounds like I.BS To me.You must try to eat more fruit and veg and drink plenty of water.Theres plenty of info on the main menu about this condition.Hope you get it sorted. :hugs: Sue

bear in mind.If you dont eat solid food your stools will never be solid.Same if you drink more than you eat.

that makes sense, eat more solid foods. But the slimy mucus stuff? I have been extreemly anxious all week and I feel weak from it, so it is probably related.
Have any of you had that mucus stuff?

To be honest i dont look .I went through a phase of that.Now i go by feel,if you know what i mean.If i were you i would eat some solids for a few days.Potatoes ,bread etc.See if it changes .Could be you are seeing the mucus because theres not enough other "matter".
