I have been having problems now for a while with abdominal pain and passing mucus with my stool, and sometimes on it's own. I have recently had a colonoscopy and they didn't find any ulceration or inflammation so put it down to IBS. Does anyone else have this problem as I didn't think it was very common to pass mucus with IBS.

Thanks,

Vicky

Hi Vicky,
Welcome to HealingWell!
Have you officially been diagnosed with IBS? Do not worry, it is actually quite common for IBSers to pass mucus. However, as mentioned just about everywhere... *Anytime your bowel movements change, always consult your doctor.*

Thanks Lil. I had read somewhere that only people with IBD passed mucus. Thanks for the links to the other posts.
