Sorry to be gross but in the past couple of days I've had mucus in my poop and just now I went and it was just mucus! Anyone have this happen. I couldn't find anything in past posts. I feel fine other than a slight cold now and I'm eating the same foods etc. and I don't normally have any issues in that department. Any thoughts?

I've had this happen to me a quite a few times when I was sick with a stomach bug. It also happens to me when I have bad post nasal drip due to my allergies.

Most poop contains some mucus, because that's what lines our intestines.  Usually when there's increased amounts it's after I've been sick with a gastrointestinal bug, or on antibiotics...and my gut flora isn't happy.  Yogurt usually fixes me up...or probiotics, but I'd check with your doctor if it continues.

I've never heard of this. Time to see the doctor.

If you have quarters and nickels coming out, that I could solve for you.

Seriously, I had the same issues poop + mucus BEFORE RNY.  Some is normal.

On another note, are you SURE it isnt coming out of your vagina? Depending on the time of your cycle, it could be the cervical cap (i.e. the mucus seals the cervix until you have ovulated and are fertile) coming out.  I have had a few instances where it was....um....yeah.

I'm post menopause so that's not it. If it keeps up I'll call the dr.
