Mucus Colour on Stool (sorry bit gross)

[mwone13]

Hi everyone,

I've had IBS for years now with white mucus at times, recently though i have noticed the colour is different. Can you get different colour mucus streaks on the stool ? It looks like red blood streaks on the stool but on tissue it's definatley mucus and seems a lighter more orange colour (sorry to be graphic).

Also the stools i'm tending to have start very hard and finish very soft in one movement is this normal of IBS?

Sorry again if it's put anyone off their tea!!:)

Same here it can be from clear to white to orangy brown that can look like blood in streaks on toilet paper if you just glance. I also get it in attacks then nothing for months then back again def ibs.
