Worried and fed up

[james2012]

I'm male 36 I have mucus on stools before this stools was hard small lumps . Now are bit bigger with. Mucus on and slime when wipe (sorry) . I think I do suffer from ibs as I did go loo twice aweek now I'm going every day nearly . Did do stool sample just over two weeks ago was normal was told by doc . Had full blood count all gd . I do have piles as well as asked patter to look she was not over the moon about it . But did say about 6 little blue / purple lumps just inside . I'm trying to drink more fluids plus eat more fiber .

What's worrying you exactly

Mucus is completely normal. If you have more or less or if it changes to a funny colour sometimes orange colour this is normal too. It's good that your tests have come back clear this should be reassuring.

IBS and constipation cause mucus. Yes get more fiber and fluids in. Do you drink coffee? It can have a laxative effect as well.

As I said in your other thread mucus is common in constipation and IBS. It is a form of lubrication so it actually is helpful.

Don't drink coffee . Only water / juice

I have merged your threads as they were identical - they are also now in the IBS forum

I was wondering why I repeated my response in one thread
