Hi everyone

I’ve had a long term unknown condition with my bowel from the start of 2017 and I have had a blood test and a stool test and both came back fine. I used to get bits of blood in my stools but has stopped for months now. But today I saw a clay coloured stool it was half clay and half normal brown and I’ve had this before and I never saw it again until now and it has really worried me, I always have mucus on the sides of my stools all the time which the doctors know about. And I’ve been told it could be my diet and in the past I’ve changed my diet to fruit and other healthy things like no coke and it got better, but now I’m back to it again and I guess it’s gone back to where I am now. I’m only young and I just need some information of what could be causing it, please respond!
