It actually started with a four day person of
constipation. Then, I had diarrhea for a week, as well as two days of the "stomach bug," or gastroenteritis. During the infection, I also had some mucus in my stool. But after a week, all of these symptoms, including the mucus, cleared up and went away.
Because of my anxiety and stress, I researched a read a ton about GI issues and bowel movements. I had always had occasional floating stools, at least since my teenage years.
