Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have started taking probiotics. For a week or two nothing happened. Than I started having regular bowel movement every morning. That lasted about three weeks and than I was getting stomach aches, bloating and gas. I was still having regular bowel movements maybe at least once a day but many other ones with just small amount of stool. It got to the point where it was just small pale yellow mucus and it was on my toilet paper. After I eat it goes back to brown stool but the pale yellow mucus around the brown stool.
HI. Mucus together with bloating and gas and stomach aches are some of the IBS signs. I'd like to know if your toilet habits changed after an antibiotic based cure. And recovery may take longer than thaught. It's a common finding in our usual clinical practice these days. I understand that you are more concerned with mucus , but it's a common symptom of this bowel functional disorder. What I'd like to suggest is that you should continue with probiotics and join activated carbon for your bloating for a while.
