Suggest Treatment For Mucous Discharge With Bowel Movement
Hello... before bringing this to my regular doctor I wanted to check here. Twice now, in as many days, I ve passed this white, disintegrated-cotton-looking substance along with my stool. (It s not IN the actual stool itself, but passes with it) Looks like mucus or pus maybe? FYI, I had bariatric surgery about 9 months ago. (Though that may have nothing to do with it). No pain whatsoever, and no gastric discomfort/nausea or anything of that kind.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of having gastric bypass surgery 9 months ago. You passed white, disintegrated cotton looking substance along with stool.
This probably may be the undigested food or so.
You should got this checked with the lab as it is necessary to confirm what it was.
Anyways, now send the stool sample for 3 consecutive days to rule out tapeworm or so infestation. And get a proper treatment if something is found.
