Episodes Of Intense Stomach Cramps With Flatulence, Mucus In Stools, Usually Yellow Strands, Frequent Bowel Movements After Eating. Cure?
I have been having problems with mucus in my stool , it s usually a yellow color and it either comes out in long strands or just lays in the water. My stool is not firm but either loose to not even together, instead it looks like dirt in water. When I am having this problem I have severe stomach cramps , and a lot of gas. Also I have several BMs in the range of a half hour, usually right after I eat or even drink sometimes. I have no known allergies to any foods. What do I do? This has been occurring for about 2 months.

Hi,
As the narrated symptoms are lasting for 2 months, the possibility of inflammatory bowel condition in terms of Crohn's or Ulcerative colitis has to be considered seriously.
There is no role of empiric medications at this stage and straightforwardly consult Gastroenterologist for colonoscopy and further guidelines in accordance to that before the condition worsens.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
