yesterday morning i had a bowel movment and i noticed a white gell like substance which i assumed was mucous, i did have some cramping during this. today my bowel movment was kind of normal, almost like diarrhea without the water no cramping no mucous, then almost immediatly after breakfast i had another bowel movement except this time with cramping. the only other symptoms im experiancing are slight nausea (which could be from worrying about it) small pains around the bellybutton, not constant, bloating, and i did have really excessive gas and alot of stomach noise about a week prior to this. i havent had any blood in the stool, i was constipated the day or two prior to the mucous incident. im pretty sure that covers it thanks!!

It sounds like a stomach virus. If you are not taking a water soluble fiber supplement --- you should try it. It's safe to take daily and it will make your BMs regular, normal size without straining. I use Equate from Wal Mart--- it's cost less than Metamucil and works about the same. Make sure you drink enough water with each dose. Each person is suppose to intake 20 to 30 grams of fiber daily--- I'll bet you're not-- It's needed to make your Gastro system function properly!!!
Bloating is usually caused by your intestinal bacteria is not in balance eating yogurt or Kefir will help restore the friendly bacteria.
