Could this be a relapse?

[nikki0294]

I am about a month out from taking xifaxan chaser. Since then I have had about 4-5 movements a day some diarrhea some slightly formed but I have felt ok. Friday I started noticing more frequent small amoutns of diarrhea less formed and intense bloating which I haven't had and pain under my right rib. I took gasx which helped the bloating some. Today I am still so bloated and pain or fullness in top part of my stomach. I noticed mucus now all around then thin thread like stools now and I am having diarrhea still about 6 times today (smaller amounts). It is strange I feel like I am constipated and full but am not elminiating as much as usual but small amounts. Did this happen to anyone? tMy doc said to find a local GI to get retested so I am going to do that first thing Monday but in the meantime I am worrying so much. When will this all end.
Thanks
Chris

it could be ibs .. they have similar symptoms... I suffer from ibs terrible.. if you can hold out and see what happens since your doctor said to call a gi on Monday... it might be something you ate..

I finished taking pills seven months a go and I still have mucus around stool 95% of the time. I think it's just IBS.
