I keep finding mucus in my stool, and it's accompanied by stomach pain and going to the bathroom about three times a day. Plus, I've had no appetite. I've already tried metronidazole for a couple of days, taking two tablets after meals, but it hasn't seemed to help, and this problem keeps coming back. What could be going on, and what should I do to treat it?

View allI've been dealing with gas issues for the past three years, and it's been pretty uncomfortable. I keep burping a lot, and if I press on my stomach, more gas comes out. I've noticed mucus in my stool toosometimes it's like a yellow jelly, sometimes it's white, or sometimes there's nothing at all. On top of that, I experience mild stomach and abdominal pain and constipation. A few months back, it was this weird mix of loose stools and then suddenly hard stools. It's kind of normal now, but still, sometimes it's hard, and when I pass stool, I get even more gas and mild upper stomach pain. There's also some bloatingnot always after eating, but just randomly. And occasionally, with the yellow mucus, there's this long worm-like thing about 3 to 5 inches long. Any idea what might be going on with me? I'm getting a bit worried about it.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastrointestinal issues such as gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even a parasitic infection. To address these symptoms, I recommend the following: 1. For frequent burping and gas: You can try taking Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg tablets as needed to help relieve gas and bloating. 2. For mucus in stool and abdominal pain: You can try a probiotic supplement like Align Probiotic Supplement to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. 3. For constipation and irregular bowel movements: You can try a gentle laxative like MiraLAX (Polyethylene Glycol 3350) to help soften stools and promote regular bowel movements. 4. For possible parasitic infection: It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper testing and treatment with medications such as Albendazole or Mebendazole, if necessary. Please note that these recommendations are general in nature and it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm trying to figure out if it's better to take ursodeoxycholic acid and silybon 70 before or after eating. Also, how many times should I be taking them each day? Feeling a bit unsure here.
