I had a burritto w/ chorizo and lots of veggies in it this past weekend. Within 2 hours I had alot of gas,some cramping and then I had loose bowels. Movement was soft,loose,and feathery..pretty much the usual medium brown color. I noticed some mucus, too. This went on for several hours. I slept thru the night and when I awoke..again I had gas and a bit of loose stool. Still had urge to go..and would pass a bit w/ mucous. After may trips..I noticed some mucous mixed with blood. This went on for a few more hours. I resorted to a bland soft diet till my system gets better. Marked improvement. Still have some gas off and on..but mucous seems to have disappeared and also any trace of blood. This morning...I had a soft bowel movement. Yesterday I had reintroduced a bit of more solid food..2 slices of whole wheat bread w/ deli turkey,green beans, scrambled eggs, a cup of Greek non fat plain yogurt, some broth and thin bean curd noodles and lots and lots of water. With this soft bowel movement...looked to be loose again and a tiny bit of mucous tinged with string of blood. Am I dead? I'm not being funny..but I'm trying to not freak out. I know my hemmoroids must be flared. I've never experienced blood before in or with my stool. The blood is very bright red..and as I said..just a bit appears.
