Hi,

I’ve been passing mostly mucus with a few pebbles (bloody red mucus at first and now brown mucus with micro strings of blood) for five days now instead of solid or even softer stool.

My GP prescribed me bloodwork and a calprotectine sampling. The thing is yesterday i felt very bad (dehydrated and hadn’t eaten) and only did the bloodwork so i postponed the calprotectine sampling for today.

I eventually got better today and collected a small amount of brown mucus this morning (couldn’t pass much more). I’ve looked it up and the sources vary, some say only 1g is required, others 5g, others 20g… So i’ve been worried the lab will get back to me to say it’s inconclusive bc there wasn’t enough in the sample.

Can anyone tell me about their experience ? Also on top of this specific question about the sampling, has this happened to anyone else here (diarrhea then only bloody mucus, then brown mucus) ?

Thank you in advance !

Hi,

For three days (i think) now I (F24) have been experiencing a weird evolution in my bowel movements. First of all, it should be noted that i have a history of constipation and that most of the times there is some straining when going to the toilet.

For what brings me here today, it all started with diarrhea which i think contained a bit of blood but i wasn’t sure as water wasn’t pink or anything. The following morning the diarrhea was still there but this time i could see a sort of red mucus at the beginning, i went 3 other times i think and then i only had this red/bloody mucus that was heavy (it sunk to the bottom) but still didn’t turn the water pink or anything.

Now on day 3 (i think) and i went two times as of now, only red/bloody mucus came out and same as before. I’m eating but nothing has come out in 24 hours. I’m not experiencing pain nor do i have a fever.

It’s been 7 hours since i’ve passed bloody mucus for the last time. I’ve been to the toilet twice since (to pee) and didn’t feel the need to poop.

Has anyone experienced this ? I took an appointment with a gastroenterologist but it’s not before a few weeks away and i’m very anxious and don’t know what to expect (what i found on the internet is either reassuring or terrifying so) except i know ill have bloodwork done and probably a colonoscopy (that i’ll probably be back here to discuss)

Thank you all in advance !
