Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query,

Have noted all your details,

There are two possibilities-

1) Most likely its because of chronic Gatroenteritis associated with disturbed Gastro intestinal flora.
2) Due to severe constipation caused by Levsin ,mucosa of rectum and anal canal get eroded sometimes causing mild bleeding along with mucous.


As mentioned as it's most likely due to gastroenteritis.It is an intestinal infection marked by diarrhoea,Constipation, cramps, nausea, vomiting etc.As stool test is positive for bacterial infection you need not to take any antibiotic.

-Take lots of yogurt in diet.It contains lactobacillus(Good bacteria of gut).Lactobacillus acidophilus is used to help re-establish the normal intestinal flora. It is used to restore intestinal flora, the loss of which may be caussed by diarrhea.

-Take Fybogel husk-Fybogel sachets and Fybogel Hi-Fibre sachets both contain the active ingredient ispaghula husk, which is a type of medicine called a bulk-forming laxative. Ispaghula is a type of fibre. It swells when it comes into contact with fluid in the gut and thus increases the volume of the faeces.It increases the bulk in your stool, an effect that helps to cause movement of the intestines. It also works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass.

-An over counter probiotic should be taken thrice a day.Major probiotic mechanisms of action include enhancement of the epithelial barrier, increased adhesion to intestinal mucosa, and concomitant inhibition of pathogen adhesion, competitive exclusion of pathogenic microorganisms, production of anti-microorganism substances and modulation of the immune system,Hence improving overall digestion.
-Drink a lot of orange juice and coconut water.Take juices rich in potassium to compensate for electrolyte loss in stools.

-Eat light food,Avoid spicy and junk food.

-Fruits and vegetables, which contain high amounts of fiber,should be added to your diet ,Whole-grain bread, XXXXXXX oatmeal, beans and lentils can also relieve the problem so use it Instead of highly processed rice, eat brown rice, millet.

Apart from this don't take any medication.
Follow this for five days if still not relieved ultrasound abdomen should be done along with repeat stool routine and microscopy.

As per your query don't worry its not colon cancer,Colon cancer patient usually does not present with history of few weeks only,Just follow what i said .

Follow up after 5 days.

Regards
