Mucus-y stool

I'm an 18 year old female in my 2nd semester of college.  I've had an awful time keeping my health up, I'm guessing from the stress and the poor diet.  I have recurring Bacterial Vaginosis, and lately, been having diarrhea every time I eat.  Last night, I was cramping really bad, but only little squirts of yellow stuff would come out.  I finally had a complete bowel movement, but so far, the yellow squirts haven't gone away.  I don't know if its related to the BV, but looking for any sort of help!  Thanks!

I'm 18. Just two days ago I woke up with an uneasy stomach. I also had stomach cramps and diarrhea once ( the first time I had a bowel movement that day) then ever since they all have been soft and yellow. I looked it up and it says that it can either be Giardia or Gilbert's Syndrome. Yours sounds more like Giardia.

I'm a 17 year old female and I have the same thing, haven't had a complete bowel movement yet though. Have had some on and off diarrhea for a few months now, but it got really bad a few days ago, turned green, and now I have the yellow stuff. I also have headaches and dizziness. It's happened before when I don't eat enough, although I've been eating just fine lately. Today I got a really bad fever, and kept alternating between waking up sweating and waking up completely frozen.
