Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have constipation, but am experiencing diarrhea that appears to be limited to white mucus. This has been going on since I passed a somewhat normal stool 6-7 days ago, but it was entirely covered in a white mucus. I was diagnosed with IBS several years ago.
HI Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
I think, you may have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The kind of symptoms you have, are more towards IBS and it could be increased by stress or underline psychological disorder. In that case, diagnosis in your case, could be psychosomatic disorder. That means, psychological disorder is aggravating physical disorder. In your case, you can either try some antidepressant like tricyclic antidepressant or relaxation exercise after psychiatrist consultation. That would help you to control symptoms.
If you need further help, you can ask.
Regards
