I'm Freaking Out!!! Mucus Balls Instead of Poo??
Posted: 09-20-07 14:07pm

Alright so I guess to start off with I'm barely 19, and I'm not taking any medications at all. I'm lactose and apple juice intolerant so I don't consume either of those. For the past few days I've felt my intestines cramping badly, I've had nausea, no appetite, been feeling gas bubbles raging through my insides, and my stomach is really bloated. Basically, the main symptoms of diarrhea for me. But, everytime the urge hits me and I go to the restroom, all that comes out are white mucus balls and nothing else (besides gas), and it has the really gross, musty smell of old blood. The best way to describe it is if you've ever had Bubble Tea, it reminds me exactly of the tapioca in it only it's white, not black (I'm sorry if I've ruined the drink for anyone now). But when I felt the need today and I rushed to the bathroom, the balls were accompanied by blood. I start off alright in the morning but as the day goes on my stomach gets more bloated and my symptoms get worse. I want to know what's going on!

Cancer runs rampant in my family, my cousin has Crohn's, and I get really weird diseases. In the past five years I've had Walking Pneumonia (when everyone else had colds), walled-off Appendicitis, Cat-Scratch Fever, a flu that lasted 2.5 weeks, and I've given birth (which had absolutely no diabetes, no raised blood pressure, nothing besides he was a week late and I had to be induced). I need some idea what's going on and I don't have medical insurance so I can't quite schedule a doctor's appt unless I know it's necessary. Please help me! Crying
or Very sad

I think that this is a necessary situation. get into the doctor. and take a sample with you.(yeah gross but helpful. carry it in a brown lunch bag--you know the paper kind)
