Hi, I’m having some bowel issues. I am 13 weeks postpartum and it all started about 5 weeks postpartum. I was exposed to family members who had the vomiting bug, I thought I escaped it but then I got diarrhea followed by some orangish blobs of mucus with small red streaks in it.
It all cleared up for a few weeks and then happened again after a weekend away with Rich food and drink. I again saw some small red streaks. I went to gp and they tested stool for infection which was negative and calprotectin was 279 which gp said was raised but thought maybe things were related to a bug and that we’d retest in 6 weeks.
I’ve had weeks of normal movements with no visible mucus and now on holidays I’m having orange mucus and I’m slightly constipated.
