What Causes Brown Stringy Bowel Movements With Stomach Pain And Anal Itching?

Hello there I hope you can advice me.I have found brown like fibers in my stool.I also have stomach pains and some anal itch, mostly at night. These symptoms coincide with an itchy nose and feelings of mucus that won t Clear from the back if my throat. I also have aIergy like symptoms. I have constipation and loose bowels. I have been to my doctors many times and treated with thread worms Medication and carried out a cleaning routine. I have taken the brown thread fibers to my doctor for analysis, but nothing conclusive has come back to confirm thread worms. My gp says it is possible Irritable bowel syndrome. I have also had a colonosgaphy. This had been going on for a few years now. Your advice is very much appreciated. Kind regards.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of brown stringy bowel movements with stomach pain and anal itching which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis. It could be due to electrolyte imbalance in body. Need not to worry.It seems that the symptoms of anal itching can be due to causes like either anal fissure or hemorrhoids. I would suggest you to avoid large intake of meals at a time and take small and frequent meals. You should exercise on daily basis. You should take proper rest. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-5 days. You should have plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should take diet rich in multivitamins. You should do tepid sponging as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
