I have recently been in the hospital for a few days and gone through several tests (blood work,CT Scan,Colonoscopy. The doctor said that I hadI Ischemic Colitis. Had blood coming from my anus after a bought of severe cramps followed by diarhia and then blood kept coming out when I felt like having a bowel movement. This continued for a couple of days while in hospital. I was informed that my colon twisted and that is why I had such severe cramps. I have now been home from hospital for 3 days and eating properly (lots of greens, hope made chicken soup, oatmeal, lots of water). Still no bowel movement but I have a green slimy discharge. Not sure what to make of this. I am 71 years old and have had a history of constipation that seems to run in my family. The doctor gave me Lax A Day and some Taro-Docusate to help with the constipation. I am worried that I have not had a bowel movement yet (taking both Decussate and the Lax A Day every day since I have been home. I am passing some gas but nothing else except the green slime mucus. Also have been excersizing (treadmill and Yoga stretches) Should I be worried about this?
