What Could Be The Treatment For Progressively Worsening Constipation, Bloating, And Gas?

Hi, I have a white, stringy, mucous-like substance attached to my stool. This is a relatively new symptom (started about a month ago, happens randomly but usually at least once a week). For about 7 months, I have had progressively worsening constipation, bloating, and gas. Could this be a candida overgrowth?
