Question : hello, I submited this question all ready but not sure if i am doing this right. Well here is my problem. I have been pooping mucus for about a week now. Sometimes its with a bowel movement sometimes its just mucus. The mucus at times is also pinkish. I actually feel like a have a uti but in my behind. I feel bloated and like i have to go to the restroom all the time and when i do its mostly mucus. I feel miserable. I can't really eat to much even though im super hungry because it makes me feel like my stomach is going to explode. I don't have insurance at the moment but i reaalllly need help i am starting to get worried. Please any advice would be great.

Brief Answer:
get your stool examined.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having your symptoms due to inflammatory bowel disease which may be due to infection in the gastrointestinal tract. I would advise that you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with a probiotic and a digestive enzyme preparation. These are over the counter medicines and easily available. A stool examination will help in planning further medical management.
Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions. Also take care of your hydration.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
