What causes yellow mucous stools with stomach pain?
Patient: my son has had a few days with light yellow mucousy stools. he has been having frequent bowel movements within each day...around 8. he has been complaining about pain when he is on the toilet and today i noticed some streaks of blood when i was wiping his bum. he has plenty of energy but has episodes of lethargy. Doctor: It's onset of 'Sangrahani' which is dysentry caused by infection in intestines and accumulation of AAM ( mucous) in intestines.Warm water should be started. The best choice for this is Kutki or Kutaj herb. But it is bitter. So many preparations are available by modifying the palatability.Kutaj syrup or Kutajarishta may be given 8 hrly to 6 hrly as per age. Kutajghan Vati tablets 6 hrly. Lavanbhaskar chooran and Bilv chooran mied equally to be given in curd four times a day. Dose as per age. Any Ayurveda doctor can guide you well. After a week generally mucous cleanses out of intestines. DONT forcibly stop stools if you start this med. It will normalize itself within a week.By acting on intestines, these herbs create immunity too and bacteria do not grow further and day to day possible food infection doesn't take place. Totally harmless unlike antibiotics.If your son cooperates, give him chhachh ( buttermilk) to drink. Better if you can add little roasted cumin seeds powder in it.I not only hope, but am sure that your son will be cured at an earliest. His appetite will increase and he will start gaining strength. All the best.
