Hi. I have been having loose stools on and off for a few months now, with normal stools in beteen. The episodes last for a few days and then disappear. There is mucus, with sticky, loose stools, that feel like burning acid at the anus. Also, food items seem to have passed undigested. At the time of an episode, my whole tummy aches as if it has been bruised, with difficulty in turning over or getting up quickly in bed, or bending down, making quick movements involving the pelvis. There is not much change in appetite, and no nausea.
