Is it normal to have a yellowy/dark brown mucus in your stool with IBS?
Just normally it's clear, so it's freaked me out abit.
The doctor basically said i had this condition when they found nothing wrong when i had a colonoscopy.

Thank you Nicola i was worried it was old blood at first but if it's normal i'll try not to worry about it
Are you constipated? Mucus stools are very common in constipation.
Also very common with IBS ( IBS can be triggered by constipation - your bottom tends to explode and need to get there urgently).
Well i normally go once a day.
Sorry for the TMI but when it first passes it's very hard and solid and like rabbit pellet's which is where the mucus is, then after that it's normal.
The rabbit droppings and mucus go hand in hand as the hard poo irritates the lining of the bowel producing the mucus. Rabbit poo is a classic sign of IBS.
Totally normal.
The rabbit pellet poo is hard old poo. It's struggled to get out So I think this could be constipation especially when soft poo ( newer poo) is following it. Orangery mucus is also a sign of constipation. Don't worry about it but it can cause tummy aches which just increase anxiety.
Try a sachet of fibregel a day, drinking more fluids or adding more fibre to your diet.
I get this as well... the orangy bits are just poo mixed with mucus I think (sorry tmi!)
Google is not my or your friend
Thank's for all your responses helps put my mind at ease
