Horrible Cramps, Mucus/jelly-like Substance Came Out Of Anus. Is It Dangerous ?
Hi I apologize because this is graphic but I am having horrible cramps/ flatulence buy I ate some fiber one bars so I figured it may be that until I went to the bathroom. There is about 3 or 4 tablespoons worth of mucus/jelly-like substance that came out of my anus (Im assuming during the flatulence? ) is this dangerous?

hello caroline welcome to healthcare magic
thanks for your query

further passing stools with visible amounts of mucus could be from one of several different diseases or conditions. Mucus in the stool is a common symptom of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and ulcerative colitis (a form of inflammatory bowel disease), and is seen to a lesser degree in Crohn's disease. A bacterial infection, anal fissure, or a bowel obstruction may also cause the passage of mucus along with stool.stools with visible amounts of mucus could be from one of several different diseases or conditions. .
