How To Treat IBS Causing Constipation, Bloating And Yellow Mucus Discharge?
I suffer with IBS and have been constipated for about 3 days, but prior to this I had a week of watery, gassy, diarrhea. Currently I have bloating, gas and only see yellowish mucus. I've never experienced this and wonder if I should be seeing a doctor. Insurance recently changed due to retirement and I haven't seeked a new doctor yet I appreciate your help. Liz

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Following steps should be taken for IBS causing constipation, bloating and yellow mucus discharge
1. Eliminating high-gas foods such items as carbonated beverages, vegetables — especially cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower .
2.Some people are sensitive to types of carbohydrates called FODMAPs .They are found in onion, garlic, apples, apricots, avocados, blackberries, cherries,etc. In some patient avoiding these food shows improvement in symptoms
3.Taking fiber supplements, such as psyllium or methylcellulose, with fluids may help control constipation. Fibers associated with food products cause more bloating.
4. Avoiding milk & milk products may also decrease the symptoms.
5. In some people improvement in symptoms occurs, if they stop eating gluten (wheat, barley and rye)
Don't worry you would be fine
Hoping your query is solved.
