I've been experiencing something unusual latelyit feels like there's a slippery substance in my anus, especially noticeable after using the toilet and washing up. It went away before but has come back recently and feels most noticeable when I'm lying in bed. Im getting a bit worried and can't figure out what it might be. Could you give me some insight into what this might be?

Can a normal healthy person take isabgol every day? I deal with chronic diarrhea and I've been taking 2 teaspoons of isabgol mixed with lemon and water every morning. Is this okay? I'm a bit worried if there are any side effects from using isabgol for a long time, like over a few years. What do you think?
stop its use

I've noticed what seems like blood in my stool, and it's kind of worrying me. There's no blood when I wipe, and I only see it under the stool after it's been in the toilet for a while, almost like it's coming from inside. It's bright red right around the stool, but then it changes to this orange-yellow color further out. Should I be concerned about this?
whether there is blood or not in the stool you can get stool for occult blood test.
