What Causes Diarrhea And Mucus In Stool?

Hi I have been lately feeling diarrhea symptoms with occasional mucous in my stool. It has persisted for about a week. Sometimes I have soreness in my abdomen. My stomach always feels tight and sometimes I feel bloated. Over the last couple days, every so often, I feel this weird fluttering in my stomach (faster than my heart beat)... What could I have?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Diarrhea and mucous stool be caused by a bacterial, viral or parasitic digestive infection.Since the problem has been persisting for long, i will suggest you see the Doctor for examination, a stool exam/culture.Your treatment will depend on the findings.
In the meantime, you may:
-take oral rehydration salt to replenish to replenish the fluid and electrolyte losses
-Zinc tablets to help in intestinal repair
-An anti-spasmodic pain drug like spasfon if any pains
Your Doctor will take care of the rest
Hope this will help
Wish you good health
