Hope that everyone will settle down for you and you won't get any more problems 🙏

Remember don't take the imodium all the time as take them until you feel better and if you unfortunately be more diarrhoea etc just take them until it clears up okay 👍👍👍

Thanks again as I say not been too bad with diarrhoea just been slightly loose stools the last couple of days and this is probably nearly back to normal for me

Usually GPS class more than twice pooing/ loose stools as diarrhea as this is why I said that you should use the imodium tablets if you get similar again as will settle things down fairly quickly.


You'll feel better soon 😌

Thanks I do hope so 🙂
I have noticed I've started passing mucus after I've been to the toilet , any ideas why is this normal? Do I need to be worried?

Don't panic yet about this as it might clear up in the next few days.

It's can be caused by a infection so I would suggest that if it doesn't clear up within the next few days or so then contact your GP for more information and take it from there 🙂🙂🙂.

Seek medical advice from your GP about it if it's continuing the way you saying. Or speak to your local chemist pharmacist and they will give you something to settle it.

Thanks it just seems like I would be wasting their time as its rare I feel ill with it ,get stomach cramps sometimes but nothing bad . My poos are just always so loose and it's embarassing unless I have my own bathroom or home when no one is around.
I know the thread's two months old, but generally, any unexplained change in bowel habits that last longer than three weeks need to be investigated.

Thanks for the reply it has been going on longer than two months . I have days where it is better than others then some weeks when it's almost diarrhoea every day . I am only young and probably could eat slightly better so could this be causing it ?

Never ignore things like that okay just incase it gets worse and you unfortunately land in hospital.

Get medical advice from your GP.

Thankyou I am going to do if it carries on as I say it comes and goes . Had a couple of large bowel movements this week which have been solid but passed gas with them . Whenever I eat any sort of junk food my bm's are always sloppy and loose which I thought indicated ibs ?

You do realise that no one will be able to provide a diagnosis over the internet no matter how long you keep posting your toilet diary?

If you’re worried then see a doctor.

You aren't wasting anyone's time as if you don't get it seen by your GP just to get there medical advice then you might regret it if you were rushed to hospital because of it.

Get a appointment asap and get them to tell you what causing it.

If it was that urgent then surely they would have went to there GP Long before now 😕😕😕
