not sure

[debcon]

I've been under some stress at work.  I started having a stomach ache three days ago, along with diarrhea.  Now I have mucous in my stool and it is uncontrollable. Does this sound like IBS?

well I didnt have diarrhea before the stress at work  I was more the other direction.  I've had this stomach ache before.  I've been taking pepto all day and haven't got diarrhea now but still have a stomach ache and lots of burping.  I kind of feel like I swallowed a bunch of rocks.

hi
were u ok before the stress at work or is this a re-occuring thing .if it is just from stress at work try and de-stress yourself .stress/anxiety will increase bowel flow due to the natural hormones released during periods of the above.chronic stress will not help with the bowel as digestion is speeded up and so loose stools or diarrhea presents.

if this becomes a re-occuring problem go to your doc and inform them of your situition and they may give u something to control this.
stress can be good for motivation etc but it is never good all day long and chronic stress is a key to the door of ibs in some .
try and get this under control

keep posted
