Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the findings of mucus in stool, for a year, mushy stools which float, range in colors from light brown to green, profuse sweating, fatigues, dizzy, bloating with passing of lots of gas, can not gain weight...
With the history your have provided, I would like to go for the investigations first as you have been suffering for more than a year,
Stool to be tested for three consecutive days.
Tests of blood for sugar, thyroid and liver functions.
Colonoscopy.
CT scan of the abdomen.
All these tests along with clinical evaluation and examination by a Gastroenterologist will help to get the proper cause and hence plan a proper treatment, which may be in the form of the following:
A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole.
Probiotics and activated charcoal.
Avoidance of all the foods and beverages that can cause such problems.
Pancreatic enzyme supplements may be needed.
I find this answer helpful
