white stuff in stools

Has anyone experienced white tissue or white material in their stools...???

Is this the internal lining of the colon pilling out.?? Or is this just a normal reaction to suppositories and pills.

Dx UC May 07

on SACOL

 

sounds like mucus to me, which is very normal in a flare

I get white fatty looking stuff, looks like something you'd trim off a piece of meat. I assume its tissuey mucous stuff?
Will know tomorrow, going for my first c-scope.

Sometimes when I have mucous in my stool it looks like snot and sometimes it looks like just bits of tissue or something, it's weird.

What kind of suppositories are you on? When I was doing the Canasa suppositories, every time I went to the bathroom in the morning I would have like globs of white junk come out that was left over suppository and a lot of times it would mix in the stool and make it look really strange. That could be it too.

The white stuff in your stools is MUCUS. As with other parts of your body, your colon generates mucus in reaction to irritation/infection.

Yeah, I get that white stuff too...I would say it is mucus also...I always describe it as looking like raw chicken fat...I know, that's disgusting, but thats what it always reminds me of...When I get that, I know I'm flaring or getting ready to...A lot of the time, there is a small amount of blood with it...Sorry for the graphic details, but where else can you talk about your BM's...

Asocol will leave the white stuff on your stool if it blows up in your rectum. Supps also do the same thing. There will also be a film floating on top of the water sometimes. West
