Please help...worrying myself sick

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi Everyone, not even sure I am in the correct forum but I am worrying myself sick here. I'll try and explain as best I can. Just over 3 weeks ago I had a very bad bout of flu, because of this I didn't eat much, took loads of night nurse (constipation side effect?) and stopped smoking for a while because my chest hurt.

Couple of weeks ago I had 2 or 3 days with no bowel movement (normally go once a day just in the morning) I have had rabbit pellet poo, sometimes mixed with mucus, and mucus on it's own...also passing the mucus in to my underwear.

3 days agio I decided to try some Fybogel which the following morning seemed to produce a normal bowel movement with very little mucus...but again this morning after a small bowel movement, out came the mucus again (horrible)

I have suffered small periods of these symptoms on and off to a mild degree most of my adult life. Can anyone offer any advice?  does this sound like I am maybe just backed up from a change in routine, medications etc? which is what I am suspecting at the moment, but if so, why the horrible mucus? Also what is a decent time frame with this for improvement before I see a Dr? No blood and no pain BTW.

Thank you
