Can A Bulking Diet Cause Yellowish Mucus Discharge While Defecating?

Twice today I ve sat on the toilet, farted, and when I wiped there was a fair amount of yellowish mucus. I haven t been constipated, had diarrhea, had any stomach or intestinal pain. A little over a week ago I had a stomach bug and have been slightly more gassy recently. My brother had the same bug and has been kinda gassy as well. I have some gastrointestinal problems every 3-4 months (diarrhea ranging from once a week to daily, exact same time like clockwork) 2 weeks or so of probiotics and I m fine. It s been a month or so since my last episode, so whatever is going on shouldn t be related to that. I have 2 weeks of probiotics left and I started taking them. I assume right now I shouldn t be overly concerned. Just wanted to make sure. On a side note I ve started a bulking diet 2 days ago (I m really scrawny) I don t know if the sudden increase in food is causing the issue?

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, the given history could be suggestive of mix type of infection and it could be bacteria and amoeba together in my opinion it can be given try on tentative basis with Tab Doxycycline with Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for five days, ideally stool need to be sent for laboratory analysis, if the give treatment fails to bring the result then stool examination is must, of course it could be worm too and for that Mebendazole tablet can be tried, it is not the food that cases such symptoms still you can eat little less, (You have not mentioned the age and gender else something better can be advised, your detail information will be appreciated ) hope this information helps.
