so i posted in here a while back about some flat and small stools but i forgot to add some detail. first of all i’m a 16 year old male that is very active and i eat rather well. the one thing i forgot to note was that on occasion i also have mucus in my stool. i’ve had normal stools ever since i posted in here the last time. started eating a little better and drinking a lot of water and not worrying as much has helped i guess. i’ve seen that mucus in stools is related most commonly to IBS but i have seen it being linked to IBD and cancer and again has me worried. my mom has IBS and has told me to talk about it with my doctor next month. thanks for your feedback
Moucus in stools is fine mate only. You are 16 and you say you eat well so having cancer at ur age is very slim indeed. I got ibs with constipation and I get moucus to. Pretty sure ibs can run in the family. Go doctors ask for a stool test to put ur mind at ease
ok thank you
IBS does run in families. Both me and my brother have it. Since you are very young it is much more likely to be IBS which can cause mucus. However, see your doctor ro confirm.
