I've had intermittent pain in right side for one month. Dr gave mebeverine no improvement. This week have had terrible bouts of cramping then when I went to toilet there was just lumps of gel. Have sent off sample but really worried about it, can any one off advice/ help please?

When you say gel I guess this is the mucus which we all have to help us go. But you don't normally see. Could be ibs or infection or even a good intolerance. Ask for a blood test to show your ESR inflammatory markers

Hi Amber, don't know what your stool test was for , but if it wasn't for calprotectin, ask for that to be tested. it measures if there is any inflammation in the small or large bowel, & is helpful in determining what may need doing next. it helps differentiate between irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease. x
