Why Do I Have Thick Mucus Discharge From Bowels After Consuming Cheese?

When I eat provolone cheese and other hard cheeses they constipate me and a very thick mucas comes from my bowel in about 2 days, so thick I have to pull it out and after that things work better. This doesn't not happen with cottage cheese, why is this and what is happening to me when this happens?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the diet may not be the cause of constipation but it must be due to less amount of water intake and no fiber diet being taken so first and important is to eat more fiber diet along with that you can eat what ever you like and try to keep the regular habit of defecation, no need to worry about this hope this information helps.
