Is It A Stomach Virus?
Question: On thursday I started feeling nausea and i lost my appetite when usually i love to eat. I have cramps like tiny spasms in my anal area on and off, I feel the need to poop but dont have anything there. earlier when I did poop, it came out with clear jelly in it. Is this IBS? or should I go to the ER? I would rather just wait to see my doctor. Or is it a stomach virus? Please help.
The color of feces was kinda of light green/yellow with the feel of jelly and sticky.
