What Causes Loose Stools With Mucus And Gas In A 51 Year Old?
For the past week I have been having semi loose (fluffy looking), pale colored stools with white mucus accopanied by painful gas. It usually occurs in the morning and evening. The consistency has not changed no matter what I eat. This has never happened before. I am a 51 yr old female.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a gastrointestinal infection.
I suggest you to do:
- A complete blood count
- A stool test to rule out the cause
- Meanwhile, you can take probiotics
- Take over the counter options like Imodium
- Drink liquids
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
