Irritable bowel syndrome and intestinal parasites (worms?) are possible causes. I recommend a stool test for "ova and parasites". Most of other possible disorders (polyps...) would require a colonoscopy to be diagnosed. To MommyofTwo.

He kept saying over and over "I dont know what is happening" At first I thought he didn't want to admit that he wet his pants, being 7 and all.. so after he went to bed I checked his underwear to see what it was. I didn't feel wet, so as any mother does, gave the sniff test. and it SMELLED, so I looked in the rear of the underwear and there is a goo that closely resembles that of a females ovulation discharge. Clear and "egg white" in consistency. What is going on?!? I am pretty worried, as he has been a perfectly healthy boy all his life. Any educated opinions and thoughts are appreciated. Thank you.

Diagnosis is with stool test for parasites (O & P test) - it is good to catch one "bad" stool, since results from normal looking stool may be false negative. Treatment is by prescribed anti-parasitic drugs. If it is parasitic food poisoning, it probably occured weeks or even months ago. Pain in the stomach is often caused by gastritis, due to excessive secretion of gastric acid. Chronic infection with H. pylori is a common cause. Diagnosis is with blood or breath test, treatment with antibiotics. This is not likely the cause of mucus, but rather an additional disorder. Avoiding acidic foods and meds (citrus fruits, alcohol, soda, vinegar, aspirin, ibuprofen, vit C) can help. pb07pb,

As far as digestive problems, I have had a few problems. I have had a green stool a couple of times. I also had a major bout of constipation about a year ago that lasted 6 days. I ordered a product called colon sweep and it worked well. Haven't had any problems since then. I don't take colon sweep now I only tookit for about a 3 week period during that time. To be honest I don't remember for sure if the color was white the first time I think it was clear like almost a spit. I remember I also vomited the same liquid and thought I was just really sick. The one that occurred yesterday was more of a yellowish-clear color. Notihng yesterday was white white. For 27 years i have been eating quite unhealthy i changed my diet 4 days ago to only fruits vegetables grains and lean meats, such as chicken turkey and fish. I am 27 years old and male.

I was very sick at the time so I thought maybe it was a bad flu. But now i am ok and while I am not getting mucus in the stool all the time I just had an episode again while I was completely healthy. I don't feel any other pains sometimes I get stomache pains directly after I eat. Is this a serious matter should i visit a doctor unfortunately i dont have insurance. which is why i havent gone yet.
