Mucus in "poop" and constantly bloated!

[SouthernChick334]

So, it's like this. I'm a 16 year old female. For some time now, I become very bloated but its released when i pass gas. It happens over and over during the day and seems to stop at night. I also have a mucus like substance in my "poop" and sometimes when I go to the bathroom thinking that I have to "poop" i end up just passing lots of gas and again some mucus like substance comes out. This has been going on for a couple of months now. Can someone feel me in please? Is this very bad?

Hi, I am 14 years old. And I am a cancer survivor. I had my period in hospital. I was 13 when diagnosed and only had 4 rounds of chemo. For some time now I get access white discharge even when I am not on my period. And I feel the need to poop(I know gross) and it comes out at a little bit of poop but white looking stuff. And gas comes out too. And my stomach growls a lot. I do also notice I get very bloated easily. Can anyone help.

Hi, I'm an 18 year old female and my symptoms are constipation, getting a lot of gas after i eat, and being so bloated that i look like i'm pregnant. i was told it could be ibs, and so i started an ibs diet for weeks and nothing changed. then, i was told it might be gluten intolerance, so i've been steering clear of gluten for weeks and nothing has changed. i'm lactose-intolerant, but i haven't had dairy for years. i am currently taking probiotic and digestive enzymes to help my digestion, but they don't seem to work. i take marilax to help my constipation and although that creates bowel movements and soft stools 2-3 times a day, the bloatedness and gas doesn't go away. i don't know what to do, i tried everything the doctors told me and everything i could think of, but i still have these problems. can someone help? thanks. -annie

I have ulcerative colitis and the symptoms above about mucus in stools or the feeling as though you have to poop but when you get in there only mucus with pink or red blood comes out. I also suffer from feeling bloated, I had a colonoscopy and that's how I was diagnosed. It ***** but it is what it is..

[KJU2009]

Sounds like my symptoms, I was diagnosed with colitis after an emergency CT scan and colonoscopy. I was on a low fat low fiber diet for a few month with no improvement. Now we are trying adding fiber back and probiotics. Good luck.

Request to be seen by a gastroentrologist.Your symptoms sound like mine did when I was diagnosed with crohn's disease. I was even misdiagnosed twice because I had ovarian cysts at the same time...until the cysts ruptured and the pain was still there.

I would look up and get tested for celiac disease. Soo many people have it, and if you don't fix it then the more you eat gluten then the more you destroy your colon. These sound like symptoms for celiac. I would go on a gluten free frenzy for a while, and see how you feel :)
(experienced since i have celiac as well as PCOS=polycystic ovarian syndrome. I also have insulin resistance!)
I hope you find the answer you guys are looking for :)

You sound as if you have an obstructed gall bladder duct.  young women are also prone to get ulcerative colitis.  Neither of these things get better without medical intervention.  If you have these symptoms it can be life threatening if left untreated.  You need to see a gastroenterologist right away.  If you have a regular doctor, you can start with him or her.  If you are without insurane, go to the emergency room of the local county hospital.   Tests can be done to determine what you have, but the right test depends on your symptoms.  It is best to write down as much as you can.  When does it happen, what relieves, how long, describe the pain.  I am a medical professional.  Anyone who reads this on an Internet search, with these symptoms, it is time to see a doctor.

hi im 14 and i had salmonella like 3 moths ago. and then i got extremely sick and had to go to hospital but they fixed me. And now i have like clay like poop....and its not poop, its almost replacing sort of clay rather than poop. Also i see mucus in my poop...which is worrying me. anyone know what i have

[juliju]

maybe you just have some sort of parasite in ur intesting. I had mucus in my stool for like two months but as soon as my mom gave me a medicine to get rid of parasites I have a normal stool again maybe you should try that

[kmon]

For 7 months I have had 3-5 bowel movements a day, but i only actually poop once a day.  The other bowel movements are just mucus.  My stools are too soft, always light brown.  I have incredibly painful gas and bloating in my intestines that feels like a sharp knife cutting into my guts.  After many doctor's visits, a colonoscopy, and trying a few medications, I was diagnosed with IBS, not to be confused with IBD.  IBS does not involve blood in the stool.  This can be treated with Belladonna (which I love, it works great) or Dicyclomine (which makes me nauseous and vomit).  In order to "cure" yourself of IBS, you must cut meat, dairy, and other irritable substances out of your diet, like artificial sweeteners, carbonated drinks, chocolate, and refined white starches like pasta, white bread, etc.

my doctor just explained the mucus in your stool is to do with a part of your your intestin that is lubercating so it can try to pass the stool go see a gi doc i cant remember all the detalis is your movements thin and skinni?

[nija0813]

All of u please get checkd out. I experiencd the same symptoms and after a year of searching I found out I had an ulcer and gall bladder disease. Pain is an understatement to what I was experiencing. To name a few I was constipated all the time bloated, everything I tried to eat made me so ill. It felt like a 400lb man was sitting on my chest. I lost 15lb bcuz I was afraid to eat. Had my gallbladder removed started taking meds for the ulcer and I felt like a million dollars. It has been 5 years and no problems. Knock on wood. Good luck to all of you!

i agree either some form of ibs or cronhs disease, you get a bloated feeling and a need to go to the toilet. look at diet and alcohol consumption as this can have an effect. try cutting out alcohol and certain rich foods if you have any of the above symptoms. colonoscopy dosent always work so would recommend endoscopy , bowel enema,

[jennlf]

Read this book:  Specific carbohydrate diet.  See if it's for you.  It does help.  It's difficult to keep to the diet as it does eliminate a lot of normal American foods.  Here is a link to the main website:  http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/

Also, check if you have hypothyroidism.  I have colitis and just assumed it was that that was causing the constant constipation. Well, I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism.  Since taking medicine for it, I've been able to go a bit more.

Believe me, I know...

Then, consult your doctor

[sd588]

It sounds like bowel obstruction. Which is dangerous, you may also benefit from taking colace over the counter stool softener and adding some fiber to your diet. At walmart, there is drink mixes in the laxative aisle where you can get ice tea / lemonade mixes to add to gain more fiber in your diet.... however, you need to consult a doctor. Bowel obstruction can kill you if it's not taken care of. With nausea, it means that you have obstruction in the intestine somewhere higher (in small intestine). For others with bowel problems, there are candys with fiber and drinks, all kinds of healthy ways to add fiber to your diet. ... EAT SALADS! stay away from fatty foods and sugar. The doctor is the best way to be healed!!

[sd588]

HI,
   You need to see a doctor because you need to be tested for your difficulties. It sounds like an emergency and it is more serious. Please see a doctor before it's too late! I hope you feel better soon.

[sd588]

Hey,
   It sounds like hemmorhoids. You need to soften your stool before you have rectal bleeding by taking over the counter colace (stool softeners ) or you need much more exercise and also, eat a salad for at least one meal a day. Once you have rectal bleeding it takes too long to heal. So, take care of it before you get more problems. Your poop is too hard so the body produces mucus to help it ease through the intestine. Research about hemmorhoids on the internet. If you don't take care of it, it may become a disease like colitis and others! I hope this helps.

[Laurita5]

Well, it looks like this is very common.

I've been bleeding through my rectal for quite a while now, I just thought it was cause of constipation. But recently, I haven't been pooping normally. My body is telling me i need to poop, then a pink/red type mucus comes out, and NO poop; and at times i get some diarhea mixed in there...I also feel my anal bloated with a tiny piece of skin sticking out.

I don't have a doctor, but Im just wondering what kind of tests should i need to have this taken care of? There is clinic which i go to, for my Coloposcopy test.
