I suffered from diarrhea for 6 days with virtually no other symptoms, apart from a slight weakness after dehydration. After Laremid did not work, and then also the charcoal did not work, I went to the doctor and got Enterol capsules and Nifuroxazide tablets. The diarrhea resolved after two days. Today is the second day without diarrhea, and like the first day after diarrhea, my stool is normal, but I noticed light brown mucus in it. In addition, I have already passed 4 stools today. Nothing in my stomach hurts, I have no other symptoms, my appetite is back, I feel good. The only thing that bothers me is the mucus in my stool. Could this be a symptom of a slight intestinal imbalance? I have never noticed mucus in my stool before.
Hello, A normal stool does not contain any mucus that may appear in various disease states. The presence of mucus in the stool is not specific to one particular medical condition - it can occur in irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatic problems, or gastrointestinal parasitic diseases. If the symptom persists, it is advisable to contact your attending physician again, a general stool examination and culture may also be helpful. This test can be performed at the nearest Sanitary and Epidemiological Station, it is necessary to obtain special containers from the pharmacy in advance for transporting biological material for the test. As part of your recovery, it is worth following a diet that can help restore the proper functioning of the intestines - such a diet is eating rice with grated boiled carrots. This type of diet fills all the nooks and crannies in our intestines and sweeps away any remaining abnormal ingredients like a brush. It is also important to balance the hydration.
