Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea With Bloody Mucus In Stool

I am a 49 year old female & have been having very loose stools, sometimes Diarreha, with excessive mucus & some bright red blood. The last couple days I have had the loose stool or Diarreha in the morning then feel like I need to go again and all that comes out is clumps of mucus sometimes with blood. Every time I urinate I end up having some of this mucus discharge from the rectum also. It seem slick or greasy. I have been fatigued a lot lately & don t know if that is connected.

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the diarrhea with bloody mucus in stool and fatigue lot indicates various possibilities as

- Inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn`s disease
- Acute bacterial infection of gut with virulent organisms or preformed toxins
- intestine flora upset
- malabsorption disorders
- immune compromised states as HIV or others
- others

My guidelines at present

- drink more liquids
- include boiled water, lemon juice, coconut water, rice water and oral rehydration salt in your day to day intake
- prefer bland vegan diet
- avoid all spices, non veg, junk items, dairy fat
- prebiotics and pro biotics with lacto bacillus and sacherromyosis bullardei
- prescription of GI specific antibiotics as Rifaximin, Metronidazole or Tinidazole as per the choice of your primary care physician.

According to the work up and clinical improvement, one may need any evaluation with

@ lab data
@ stool microscopy
@ ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis
@ colonoscopy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
