Productive farts

does anyone have any help for non painful farts but without warning I poop 💩 either a small amount of poop or mucus!I have been dx with extreme ibs imodium makes no difference to this .

  1. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. You're not alone. We had a couple of similar discussions here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/mucus-mucus-mucus, as well as in there articles here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/wet-farts, here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/passing-gas, and here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/stories/never-trust-fart. If you haven't already, I'd definitely ask your doctor about this symptom. I'm also wondering if this happens more when you eat a trigger food or are in a flare? I hope other community members will share their advice with you soon. Big hugs, Karina (team member)

    1. Try a glycerine suppository every twelve hours. This should clear you out. It never happens to me now but it did before I tried the suppositories. I used to use bubble gum mixed with pectin powder as a butt plug but the suppositories are much better. Also one loperamide every other morning. See how you go. These doses might need adjusting. Buona fortuna. Lady drummer. You can also buy plastic butt plugs on internet but they did not work for me.

      1. Thank you for sharing what has helped you. I hope you are feeling okay today and having minimal symptoms. Best, Elizabeth (inflammatoryboweldisease.net team member)
