Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history and understood your concerns.
Loose motion once a week, followed by tiredness and with mucus sometimes indicates that the problem may be related to the problem of colitis.
I would advise you the following:
Send the sample of stool for tests.
If there is an infection as indicated you need a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics.
If there is no response in 5 days further tests of colonoscopy, biopsy and CT scan of the abdomen may be needed to get an appropriate diagnosis and management,
