Question: Hi! I have a question regarding something I’ve noticed when having a bm. After wiping I’ve noticed a little bit of jelly like substance. I’ve noticed it twice and it was about a month apart. I do struggle with getting enough water and have always struggled with constipation if I’m not relaxed. I don’t have any other symptoms. Everything else is the same.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.

The jelly like substance you saw might be mucus. Some amount of mucus is normal. It is secreted by the colon and is meant to protect the colon.
For relief from constipation -
1. Take high fiber diet- Include lot of vegetables, fruits. Drink prune juice
2. Take fiber supplements like metamucil
3. Drink lot of fluids
4. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day.

Dr.R.K.
