Is Mucus Discharge Normal After Taking Laxative For Constipation?

Hi! I have been constipated for about four days now, I took a laxative. Then I went to go to the bathroom and I tried to go, but only mucus came out, Is that normal? And a few days ago my stomach was killing me! And I wasn't hungry and I threw up then I had diarrhea . This whole week has been a mess!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it highly advisable to drink more water if you do not drink water and just tried laxative then it wont work, I would suggest to have more fiber containing diet and plenty of water then you would be having normal defection hope this information helps.
