Common Questions and Answers about Can antibiotics cause mucus in stool
antibiotics
Judy, pick up some probiotics and give them a try. Antibiotics can knock the good bacteria in your system for a loop and that can cause changes in bowel functions. Try something like Culturelle and finish out the whole pack. Take the probiotics at LEAST 2-3 hours after taking any antibiotics, if you've still taking them.
Female in mid-40's. For 2-3 wks I've had mucus and/or blood when I go to the bathroom. Many times I don't pass any stool, just globs of mucus and blood clots. First had more mucus, now more blood. I have had external hemorrhoids in the past but have not had a flare for a yr and half but have never experienced bleeding, only inflammation. I've read that bleeding hemorrhoids usually lasts a few days at a time, not wks.
In June of this year I experienced mucus in my stool (I am male, 37). The first incidence was quite unusual - I thought I was going to pass wind and followed through. A quick trip to the toilet later and I discovered that I had passed clear coloured mucus. I immediately went to the doctors and they did stool test and bloods which came up clear. They put it down to bacterial infections and gave me some antibiotics. It cleared up.
I had mucus in my stool but had had a long usage of antibiotics for a tooth issue. It really caused my GI track to go haywire all of a sudden. Probiotics and the usage of prebiotics really helped me. Do you use these at all?
Hemorrhoids are enlarged veins in anal area, they look like a pinkish/bluish clumps of mucosa. You can see and feel external hemorrhoids. They may be painfull, like after prolonged sitting, they often itch, and often bleed when you strain. Internal hemorrhoids are not seen from outside, are usually not painfull, but can cause thin stools. They can be detected by doctor during rectal examination. Small amount of mucus may be present in stool.
When you have bowel movement is the stomach pain relieved? If so, this could simply be a case of IBS. Mucus in the stool is a common symptom of IBS. I would get checked out again just to be sure but sounds like that could be the problem... Remember though, I'm not a doctor - but I have read up on IBS because I'm having several gastro issues myself and think I may have IBS.
I have had red blood from anal area a few times and I have white and yellow mucus in my stool, sometimes dull orange. I also have what appears to be dead tissue in my stool, sometimes I pass only this dead tissue with mucus (no actual stool), my stools are pencil thin about a third of the time, and often I find that I have long strings of dead tissue with thin stool twisted around it.
acheson - have you taken antibiotics recently? Google clostridium difficile to see if your sympoms match - you may need a series of stool sample tests to rule it out. You mention the blood/mucus is "in" your stool - and along with your other symptoms, Id go see the doc and rule out C Diff.
more then when i went to use the bathroom there stated being these weird mucus like balls the size of nickles or something in my stool. then i started having mucus. and atleast a couple of times there were red spots on my stool. i wasn't sure if it was blood. then i started having these weird black seeds show up and now sometimes my wow stool will be filled with weird sesame like seeds and red spots and sometimes black.
t wise to use it too much, but on a temporary basis, one can use cascara sagrada (herb) in the lowest dosage to work as a stool softener. However, you need to find out which foods are aggravating the IBS or the problems will not resolve. I speak from experience. I no longer get that mucous you're talking about because I'm more careful about what I eat.

I developed oral thrush from my antibotics. It lasted about 8-9 months for me...
For the last 3ish months I have been having white stringy mucus in my stool. Most prevalent in forst stool of the day. First one seems to be mixed in with a stool that usually appears as slightly constipated, and then it's usually on the surface of any other bowel movement I have throughout the day.
I maybe have some rectal pain but its hafd to tell whether I actually am or whether it's because I'm anxious.
It had wet stool with a light color of red bloody mucus. since then every time I go diarrhea its stool with bloody mucus. What could be wrong with me? I thought that maybe it could be that I ate too much soy. The day before I got diarrhea i ate a box of granola bars that contain soybeans. But now after see the blood mucus, I don't know what it is. What do you think?
White mucus in stool can be linked to candida outgrowth in the digestive system. If you were on cortisone and antibiotics treatment for an extensive period of time; candida albicans a fungi strain normally the resident in the intestines start to proliferate and morph into parasitic colonies capable of rupturing intestine walls in the absence of good bacteria once controlled their number.
Stomach cramps with antibiotics are not uncommon (the antibiotics make the muscles of the intestine move more quickly, and can cause loose stool as well). However, fever and itching can be a sign of an allergy. It is possible to develop an allergy at any time in your life, even to an antibiotic you have taken before.
I hope this helps.
Since then, I have been noticing a lot of white/clear mucus in my stool. When I wipe, the only thing I can see in the toilet paper is white mucus. I don’t feel particularly ill or anything, but this has been happening everyday for more than a week or two. What could this be a sign of?
Note: Four members of my family (we are six) have had gastritis and ulcers. Could this be a probability?
