Q: Green Mucus In Stool

Okay so here is the deal with me.

I am a female age 30.

With a strong family history of cancer.

My mother had breast cancer
my mother's sister and her two daughters had breast, lung, and blood cancer.

Grandma had it. And so on.


For about a little over a year now, I have noticed I have allot of problems with my intestines or something. They always feel like they are churning or something. I have had excessive gas to the point that I look 9 months pregnant. It is so painful that I can barely walk. It has started to get worse and worse to the point I am now scared of eating. Everytime I do, I bloat up and it hurts. I have constipation all the time. And I feel that I cannot get the stools out. And when I do, it feels like there is some left behind that I cannot get out. For the past 5 months I have noticed my stool is covered in slime, or mucus. Before it was like clear, then yellow. And now the mucus is dark olive green. And two days ago I noticed I felt "moisture" "back there" and I went to go check, and I now have started oozing green mucus from "back there". I always feel my intestines moving or twisting or something. I have gas like all day everyday. I don't eat fried foods, I don't eat dairy, I don't eat red meat. And I eat very very healthy. I eat a high fiber diet and drink lots of water. Yet I feel tired and fatiqued all the time and my stomach always is a problem. So I don't understand. Should I be worried? What could it be? Please help.

I don't have an answer...
I have similar symptoms but I was told about two years ago that I have IBS diarrhea. I have had all the symptoms and I am still suffering from it but I have noticed that mucus has become much more apparent. I do not know why but I have tried all of the medications out there and I have been to 3 different GI doctors and no one has any answers. I am only 23 and I have not had these sever symptoms until two years ago. I hope I can find out some answers soon, it is not easy to go about daily routine or work each day when I feel this bad. I did try one antibiotic that helped for a few months but my symptoms are back and worse. I would get back on the medicine but it is not for IBS so the FDA will not approve it for my symptoms. I hope some one has some answers soon, and good luck to you. Confused

napOm..

honestly, my bf had the same problem for the longest time, until he stopped smoking.

gained 15 pounds since he stopped and does not have any of the symptoms anymore. sometimes marijuana upsets the stomach and makes you go to the bathroom even more then normally...try it for a little bit and see if it works.

good luck

Have you tried taking advice from a doctor? The symptoms seems so disturbing. You must act now before more serious come.

Here's wht my daughter did.
My daughter had some of the same symptoms except she didn't have heartburn that I know of and she tried several things but one thing that helped her was a fiber drink that has like 4 times the fiber of anything on the market. She and her husband both drink it everyday.
