Strange poo

I know the standard answer to this will be 'go to the doctor' but anyway:

Often I suffer from some strange symptoms. I need to pass wind, but half an ounce of clear fluid comes out. When I sit on the loo to poo, a lot of mucusy fluid sometimes comes out too.

Today I went to the loo, and when I poo'd it sort of gushed from me. I looked in the pan, and there was no stool, but instead was what looked like White noodles in a sort of mucus.

Has anyone experienced this!? Was very strange.

    You have diarrhea.

    Not sure about the white noodles though.

    I've never heard of white poo. I've had black poo, but never white.

    Maybe go GP and just get it checked.

    They looked like spaghetti. I know it's a jokey subject, but it was a bit alarming. I had to check that they weren't a living thing. Bizzare.

    Serious answer, I think you have got worms. People can get them. You will need to go to the doctor, should be easily sorted though. Probably just take some pills.

    He said it 'gushed' out so I thought it might be diarrhea.

    Thread worms are less than a cm long - could it be tapeworm? Have you had any other symptoms like weight loss or anything?

    Straight to the docs for you. Mucus in poo needs to be investigated, as do the noodley things - they do sound like worms, but the mucus issue will probably mean you will be sent for some tests.

    Why did I chose to read this thread whilst eating spaghetti bolognaise??!:eek:

    The mucus bit should defo be checked out for colitis etc espectially if you are passing mucous when trumping.

    But yes it does sound like you have worms

    To save time, poo into an empty jam-jar or similar, and take it along to your appointment with you.

    That way you can talk about, "the thing itself"; rather than simply describing your symptoms.

    If you do this, what's the chances of you taking a photo of it and uploading it? :)

    I'm really sorry but you do realise that the song 'Strange Brew' by Cream is never going to be the same for me ever again........................................

    Tapeworms tend to shed segments rather than the whole worm - I'd make a wild guess at roundworm, but it sounds to me like they're causing a blockage in the large intestine (hence the runny poo - as that's all that can get past). As others have said, OP - go to the doctors, take a poo sample with you, he'll soon get you sorted.

    PS - you don't need to get a sample of the actual worm, chances are there'll be plenty of eggs in your poo to ID the beasties! :D

    That could be quite awkward not to mention messy.
