What Causes Belly Pain And Slimy Strings In Stools?
Hi My family and I are big fans of eating braided beef tendon. I ate some yesterday but I ate it pretty fast so I did not chew them properly. Today, I began to notice slimy strings in my stools (which btw were not watery or bloody; pretty normal). Could they be undigested tendon or something else..? I ve also been experiencing stomach pains but I m assuming that is because I binge ate for the past three days and haven t had a decent bowel movement since today. Please help! What was it in my stool?? Thanks.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history consuming braided beef tendons which you ate carelessly. Less digested appeared in stool as slimy strings and will obviously cause pain in abdomen as it will be difficult for the intestines to propagate the less digested foods. This will trouble you till the whole of such fibers pass out of the intestines. I would advise you to take pancreatic enzyme supplements, which may help to digestion. Drink plenty of oral fluids. Send the sample of stool for tests to see if there is any other problems. Consult a General Surgeon to have clinical evaluation and treatment as required.
