I feel the urge to evacuate the bowels, but nothing emerge but the mucous, and ot very much volume of it. The odor is a slight ammonia, almost sweet smell ... A ideas ?
Hi,
Thank you for the query.
Possibly, you are suffering for a mild intestinal infection likely food or water borne.
Most likely, it should settle down with time. Take a probiotic and a mild anti diarrheal, if it does not settle in a day. It is also worthwhile getting a stool routine and culture examination done, if it does not settle in a day or two.
Do watch for blood in stools, if it is present, then consult a doctor.
Drink lot of water to ensure that you do not get dehydrated.
Not to worry about stool smell.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
