Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have drainage of blood and mucus in bowels along with flatulence which seems to be either infection , ulcers or inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Need not to worry. Some times UTI can also give such symptoms .I would suggest you to proton pump inhibitors and antacids such as Pantoprazole along with domperidone. You should take oral rehydration solution for maintaining the hydration and electrolyte balance of the body. Avoid intake of large foods , spicy food, try to prefer small and frequent meals. You should consult gastroenterologist once and get complete blood investigations done along with ultrasound and stool test. Take plain and soft food and avoid hot, food that cause gas formation like dairy products and cabbage.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
