I have noticed an increase in mucus in my stool over the last couple of months. It’s usually orange with red streaks through it. Today however I passed mucus that was quiet pink, signifying blood I presume? Does anyone else suffer with this symptom ? Or could this be something else ?
You're not the only one experiencing this, mucous in stool is actually a pretty common symptom: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/symptoms However, it could also be an indicator of something else (https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/ibd-signs), especially if there's blood too, so I would definitely mention it to your doctor if you haven't already. I hope you'll feel better soon. Please keep us updated! Hugs, Karina (team member)

Hi Karina, thank you for your reply. I will get onto my doctor and see what they say. I’m glad it’s a common symptom, I’m sure there is nothing for me to worry about
