Passing large amounts of mucous with and without stool

[tiggerrocks]

HI,

I have, in the last month, had some intestinal issues.  It started out when I was passing large amounts of mucous without stool for approx. three days.  I then started to have severe diarrhea.  On one occasion a passed large blood clots without stool.  The blood and the blood clots never returned after this event, I continued to have diarrhea however.  I went into my Family practice doctor after two weeks of diarrhea and severe abdominal pain. At this appointment a CT scan of my abdomen was down and stool samples, and blood test were ordered.  Everything came back within normal ranges.  My diarrhea has been on and off since this and I have been passing even larger amounts of mucous with and without my stool.  I have had two episodes of incontinence also.  I have been frustrated because I have had many moments where I feel the sudden urge to relieve myself and when I get to the toilet I either pass only mucous or little stool with large amounts of mucous.  I recently had an episode where when I went to wipe I had a large amount of mucous that I was actually pulling from my rectum.  I still have abdominal discomfort and on and off pain.  When I do go to relieve myself the abdominal pain is very intense.  

What would your advice be?  I am at my wits end and exhausted all the time.  It is starting to interfere with my ADL's .  I want to thank you in advance for your help.

wow, I just realized my last post posted more than once.  Sorry about that.  

I just wanted to give you an update.  I had my colonoscopy  yesterday, and they found numerous areas that were inflamed and similar to crohns disease.  They also found mucous.  They took about 6 biopsy and the Doc.  said he would know for sure what was going on when that lab results from the biopsy come back.  He said that if it is crohns we either caught it right at its start or it is a mild case.  It was nice to have them find something, since I was beginning to think I might be crazy.  Anyway thanx for your support and help.

Just wanted to give you an update.  I will be going in this coming up tues.  Feb. 24th for a colonoscopy.  I will let you know how that goes after it is over.  I am dreading the stuff you have to drink before, slightly anxious about it.

In the short term try taking some immodium to relieve the diarrhea and pain.  I would insist that your doctor arrange for a colonoscopy and/or a barium enema x-ray.  Something is definitely going on and his job is not done.
