I cannot understand how ibs causes mucus in stool. I have a lot of amount almost everyday and have done many things to rule out other conditions. Went to numerous GI specialists and none of them were concerned about this mucus. An ER doctor told me that i have internal haemorrhoids and maybe that can cause the mucus but nothing else. So can someone explain the link between mucus and ibs and how this is not related to infection and inflammation?

I don’t know if i am on the right place but i am so desperate that i just want to share my story. For the past 5-6 months i have been in a lot of pain certainly on the left side. A lot of gases, bloating on the certain area and many many more. Before you say that i need to see a doctor just don’t. I have been on numerous medications and examinations. Three different doctors had seen me-my GP, ultrasound, 2 different GI specialists and multiple bloodworks were done(gluten, calpro etc.). For the past two months my leukocytes were lower(3.8) and my lymphocytes are higher. That was shown on the labs of two different laboratories but I had an urgent visit a month ago to the ER because I freaked out of the pain and spasms and I saw blood on my stools. There my leukocytes were totally normal(5.3) so I don’t know where should I believe. Another thing that really bothers me is MUCUS. All kind of color-yellow, orange, brown, white. I have seen everything. My stools are usually floating but not every time. The first part is always floating and more goey then it is more “normal”. Also, forgot to mention that the ER doctor even put a finger in my ass-sorry for the details, but that’s the reality i guess-and said that he can feel a haemorrhoid that can cause occasional bleeding. Having all that said I don’t know what to do anymore. I am almost 19 and dealing with that kind of issues is insane. I am going to a stressful time in my life right now and my childhood was not easy as well. Any advice is welcomed and again sorry for some gross details!
