Mucous In Stools?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience or opinions about muscous in stools? Is it something to worry about? I've been having the occasional loose/mucousy stool - usually once a day, always in the afternoon and almost always at work. (Stress?) I do keep a food log and the only thing I can see that might have a correlation is apples. Do apples give anyone else trouble? Do you think more fiber would help? Otherwise I'm doing well in this department.

Thanks for listening - hard to talk about this with just anyone :)

I believe it means that you are still not absorbing fats and it passes right through. The healing process can take quite a bit of time. If they float, your healing and if they sink your betting better. :blink:

Usually this happens to me when I'm pretty sick. I'd say keep looking for something in your diet. Maybe you've got a dairy intolerance too?

Been dairy free since August too :(

You might want to try the SCD diet and see if that clears it up. I seem to be sensitive to far more stuff than I was and this is helping me figure out everything. One thing I've learned is that ignoring gas, diarrhea and stuff is bad. Those are symptoms. I'm terrible about ignoring symptoms.

Otherwise, how about stopping the apples for awhile and see if you get better.

I have had that symptom too, it was from gluten for me. Have you check your hand soaps and lotions? (if you use it on your hands, then eat, that stuff might be on your food). Also, if you touch your hair a lot, maybe you are using a hair product with gluten in it?? I think I remember someone here saying that carbon paper has wheat in it, so that might be a source too (Just trying to think of things that I face/do/touch at work) Sorry I can't be more help.

I had the same problem with gluten along with the smell and when I first went gluten-free that is when they started to float.

I have no problems with apples I eat 3 or more a day.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
