Diarrhea with mucus and blood
by Jay111, Sep 09, 2008 03:55PM
Doc,
I am a 42 year old male, healthy. The other morning I woke up with bad stomache cramps, bloating and diarrhea. The initial BM was prety severe. Later through the day I had several more loose BM, nothing like the first one but now there is some mucus with red blood mixed in it. I don't know if the blood was bright red but it was red.The night before I had bar food, shrimp coctail and then when I got home an egg and pork sausage sandwhich before I went to bed. I have been sensitive to eggs in the past and ended up with diarrhea. Should I be concerned about the blood and mucus. I have never noticed blood or mucus in a BM before with the exception of one time when I was on Leviquin for 10 days. The Dr. said it was due to the Leviquin. That was about a year ago.

Hi,
Blood and mucus diarrhea along with cramps is due to colitis most probably due to infection in your case.
Consult your doctor to get the appropriate medications.
