Someone told me that it was the intestines thinking that they're are irritated (with the fecked up IBS nervous sytem down there! ) and so producing mucus to try and sooth things down. But there's no actual irritation in the first place!

Also, I think it's partly when your BMs kinda separate into hard bits and mucus instead of normal poo!




I doubt it is the lining of the intestines but I don't question the fact that intestines could be irritated by all sorts of things. Look at how different the poo is.........most of us have something different coming out all the time.

I never had "hard bits" poo with mucus.........only just a regular looking, and yes, and floating type stool. It is just an occurance that happens every couple of months so I wondered what in the world could trigger it. I think, in some ways it really is still a mystery and suspect a lot of experts disagree on it.
