A stool analysis is recommended

Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
The white liquid with stools is mucous secreted by the large intestine. It can be seen normally in small quantities but can also be associated with digestive tract ailments when secreted in large quantities.
To diagnose any digestive ailments, Kindly consult a physician for "Stool analysis"- for occult blood, parasites and fecal fat content. A caution of not taking medications like antibiotics, Non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs or laxatives for atleast two weeks before you give your stool for examination should be followed. The lab technician will give you instructions regarding the prerequisites to be followed.
