Suggest Treatment For Flatulence, Mucus In Stool And Watery Stool

For the past two weeks I have been having a bowel problem. At first sign I could not eat a thing without running to the bathroom (bowel spasms) and having explosive farting along with watery liquid as well as bits of light colored and some mucus poop.when I wiped it was also slick and watery on my rectum.i was also sick to my stomach and couldn t eat. After the first few days I was suggest ed to take an immodium and so I took 2 that day and I felt better.and even ate without running to the bathroom. I then was concerned that I was going to become constipated because I originally was not excrete ing a healthy bowel movement to begin with and now whatever I ate after I was feeling better , my body is not getting rid of it . So it had been about 3 days and I gave myself an enema. Once again and this time expecting there would be very loose watery stools along with only one healthy piece of stool was excreted. Since the enema (about 6 days ago) I m right back to where I started. Today was the same. And maybe a little worse.i made 3 trips to the bathroom in a six hour day at work with explosive water coming out of my rectum and when I got home I did not make it to the bathroom. Needing some expertise advise .

Hello
I had gone through your question and I can understand your concern
Looking at your history this could be due to any of these possibilities
Gastroenteritis
worm infestation
Indigestion or malabsorption
inflammatory bowel disease

I see such patients in my clinic, after clinical examination and patient history of would advise them for a battery of tests like liver function tests or stool test for ova cyst or protozoa

you may require a course of antibiotics like ofloxacin with ornidazole under supervision of your doctor
have plenty of fluids including ORS to counter dehydration
take probiotics which will improve healthy germs in intestine
have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables
Wash your hands with antiseptic soap every time you eat
avois fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks
hope this helps you
please feel free to ask for more clarification I gladly answer you
