I have not seen my GI since Nov last year but I have been experiencing for the last couple months alot of bloating and mucus. I also have been hurting in my lower stomach and feeling like I need to pass stool but only brown mucus coming out. I had surgery two years ago and have put on alot of weight since then. I am worried about Obstruction or stricturing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys!

It may be tenesmus that you're experiancing (feeling like you have to evacuate but only mucous or even nothing comes out)...if so, you would need rectal meds...since CD can affect any part of the GI tract, it's very possible that it's tenesmus. You should call your doc and report any changes though...better to be safe than sorry.

Yeah, mucous and the feeling of urgency sounds like rectal inflammation. Time to call the GI.
