Hey people:

I'm a 19 yo male, healthy and have lost 70 lbs in a year last year (2009-2010) and still frequent the Gym. I eat fruits and vegetables in my meals most of the time.

Anyhow, last week, I at a big salad and put in loads of jalepenos (probably 12), had lots of spinach and contained chipotle sauce (not really spicy), buffalo sauce (not real spicy either) and ranch. Bell peppers were on it too and some onions. It was the second time I ate a salad like that except this time, had more jalapenos. Later that night, I can feel my stomach grumble and a very slight burning/warm sensation, and I thought "Maybe I should have not eaten that".

So the next day, i kinda had the feeling to poop a few times and chuncks came out. Nothing really alarmed me. Fast forward to two days ago, I started to see only these white stuff (mucous) come out instea of feces, and sometimes when I pooped, droppings would come out with the mucous around it. Next day, got some prune juice and two other laxatives and later on, I started to have diarrhea like symptons where I would actually poop, and then yesterday, thin fecers (not big but not small, only 4) came out. But later in the night, it went back to just mucous and this morning too, just when I thought I was recovering.

I never had this issue, ever. I always drank plenty of water and always ate right and exercise an hour a day. Should I continue with the prune juice and the like to I'm fully recovered? Also, only once did I poop out blood. It was very light though. And that's about it. I don't think I have a hemmorrhoid because I try not to strain, so...

I want to see a doctor for this but my insurance sucks and I have to pay lots of money- most likely, they'll just tell me to take laxatives and that's it.. Then I have to pay $200 just for something i already knew.

I just want this to end... Sad night, I can feel my stomach grumble and a very slight burning/warm sensation, and I thought "Maybe I should have not eaten that".
