What Could Cause Recurrent Symptoms Of Either Constipation Or Diarrhea Along With Gel-like Discharge?
I constantly have stomach issues. Either constipation or diarrhea, but normally constipation. Anyway, for the last few weeks when I wipe I have a gel-like substance on the toilet paper. This is worrying me, especially with all the stomach problems I have already!!

Hi...
Welcome to healthcare magic.
As you mentioned you have problem of alternative constipation and diarrhea that may be because of irritable bowel syndrome.
Lack of gastric motility or thyroid problem lead to constipation problem.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.
Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems.
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..
I hope this will help you.
Get well soon..
Thank you.
