What Are Abdominal Pain And Mucus In Stool Suggestive Of?

I have been having pain in my abdomen centered directly above my belly button and in the past week I started noticing white fuzzy membrane looking stuff in my stool. Some of it is in the poop and some floats up, it looks like those egg strand that float up from the bottom in a pond. I also have been having really frequent bowel movements. What could it be?

Hi,

It looks like you have some digestion issues. Ill-formed stools are the effects of rapid intestinal transit something seen in irritable bowel and due to a reduction in the normal intestinal flora (commensal bacteria).

I suggest that you take plenty of yoghurt in your diet. Lactobacillus supplements available over the counter will be useful. Retune the intestinal functions with a simple diet consisting of high fibers (green vegetables and fruits). If symptoms don't improve stool test is in order.

Stress and reduced sleep can disturb neuroendocrine function easily. This can aggravate normal stool formation. So it is better that you learn to manage stressors well quickly.

I see that your medical history is null. Let me know if you have problems with diabetes or thyroid dysfunctions - they can be related.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
