On Dec16, I had a little bout w/ weird bowel movements. It looked bloody & mucousy, but since then have returned to normal, somewhat. The other night the mucousy part came back again, so I went to ER, where they did a digital exam, came back neg for blood, so they gave me a stool kit to collect the mucousy stools to test them. Most of the time I have decent moving bowels, I have had issues with constipation in my past. I have horrid hemmrhoids from giving birth 5 months ago. But I'm tired of all the what if's & wondering whats wrong. What type of test should I discuss with my doctor? I'm a big cancer-fearing nut so I'm fearing the worst (colorectal cancer), but I'm leaving the door open b/c I know there are other things that could be wrong. My biggest wonder is why sometimes I have bile (yellow) in my stools? What would you suggest I get done to have an overall healthy checkup? I'm also 6 wks pregnant. What do you think this is? Any help is appreciated!
Please only serious answers!

I would suggest a good gastroenterologist.. If you do not know of one--ask you gp or ob doctor for a good one. Sounds like you need a colonoscopy. (up the rectum with a light and look around). If they find nothing, at least maybe he would be the expert in that area. Good luck to you. My opinion.

Hello. I would go to a gastroentomologist (sorry if the spelling is wrong) they should be able to help you. I have Crohn's Colitis myself and was given a colonoscopy for a diagnosis. You could also ask about a Barium Small Bowl Follow Through or an Upper G.I. test......but if you are pregnant then I don't think they can do those.
I hope you find your answers.....I know how bad it feels to not know what is wrong with your own body.
Cheers

I was tested for everything, parasites, put on flagel, cipro, imodium ad, gas-x
Colonoscopy confirmed i have the dreaded non curable Ulcerative colitis. there is treatment, but it's not a cure.
I hope the new meds they are working on keep us out of diapers and not married to toilets.
you really cannot leave the house, and it's depleting and exhausting disease.

get a colonoscopy after your baby is delivered, and have those hemoroids fixed at the same time!!!
