Bowel problem

Hey, I have done a few searches and found a couple of threads on similar problems. I have recently got a little concerned, I didn’t see any problem untill recently though.

Basically, Don’t read if you can’t handle this - I am gonna get straight to the point. Laugh - joke, whatever, but please try to answer seriously too :p

Well, Basically - I haven’t got diarreah, But each time I fart or put a slight “push” on my anus, I get mucous, it is brown, thin and smells nasty! Sorry guys - I said I will get straight to the point. Anyone know what this is? Is it a bad sign? Gonna go doctors monday or tuesday - just wondered what you guys thought of it. I have had it about 2 weeks now.

Reckon it is IBS, or is my anxiety of it causing it? Is that possible? lol.

Thank you!

P.s. when I say “push”, I am referring to when sitting on the toilet, before the excretion starts ;)

Twatteaser is the resident bowel problem expert. He’ll know what to do. Going to a physician is a good thing.

Hey PEst,

Does this thread look familiar?

Anal tear, rhoids, cancer?

Hello Sir,

Basically mucus is an everyday thing. However, it is rarely so visibly seen as in your case. I actually get it rather commonly, but my intestines are spent and shot for like 8 years now. It is a colon malfunction but usually nothing to really worry about.

If you don’t have the trots or can’t go accompanied by gas pains and nasty cramping, it should be noted that it most often isn’t a big problem. The cause could be something you are ingesting. Examples would be smoking, coffee, caffeine, alcohol, greasy foods, etc….

Your gutty works has a huge reserve of serotonin in your body. Stress in life effects this as much as brain. Some of the easiest treatments for a condition like this is a simple SSRI drug like Zoloft.

The cheapest way to try and cut this out is just reduce your stress levels and eat better. Try and rule out any food or drink contradictions that may be causing this. Maybe eat a bit more fiber in your diet too.

If you have any more problems or this one goes on, tell us here.

If this still happens try and see a direct specialist like a GI doctor. Simple eveyday physicians are decent guys but don’t know the ass inside and out like the specilaized doc does.

Always be on the lookout for blood too.

Thank you very much, no blood as of yet thank god. I think you are right - doesn’t seem to be a major concern.

As a victim of the most horrendous of all Ecoli infections several years back, I do believe twat’s advice to be most sound. De-stress, watch your intake of what it is you intake, and yes go see a GI specialist. After what I went through, I still wake up some mornings amazed that I have intestines or an asshole that functions properly.

#1 sign that you’re growing older: you start openly talking about your ass and your bowl disfunctions.

What the hell did you eat?

what else - Mexican food. Just north of the border.

How Lovely? Nothing like spicy food that burns its way from going in till all the way out too.

If the good doctor tells you that you have Colon Irritabile (basically irritated colon) you should cut down on coffe (yikes!), alcohol etc the usual but also avoid rye-bread (or anything with rye) and cabbage (there goes the coleslaw!).

If that’s the verdict, post and I’ll give some feedback on more do’s and don’ts.

Hmmmmm…..Tabasco maybe?
