Try 3 days without YEAST.
I have suffered this for 20+ years and have had all doctors look and poke everything just to be told it is IBS and the smell was in my head!!!!!!
Yeast was my cause of the yellow mucus, after 2 days of no yeast it was gone.
my life has changed :-|
I hope this helps at least some of you guys.
how much tumeric is a high dose?? I take tumeric for arthritis pain. have not noticed any difference in my leakage.
Can you have a discharge if you have diaberticulitus
Not much helpful to add - just solidarity, because I've been enduring this very same nonsense for the past year. Looks like it's not going to just go away.
Started one evening, just about exactly a year ago. Sitting on a faux leather cushion to watch a TV programme, I stood up after half an hour to discover, to my horror, that the seat of my pants was damp. It was a good programme, but I don't think that was the cause. This was shortly after a visitation to the toilet.
What I've discovered since is that in the few hours (could be three or four, sometimes eight or nine) after a bowel movement, a quantity of yellow/brown bum mucus also wants to come out and play. Since that time, I've also noticed feeling...not sure, exactly, but perhaps a bit less in control of the anal sphincter. I think I've got more used to it, now, but I definitely remember in the early days being alarmed at how much effort it took to hold it closed sometimes when it had plainly decided it wanted to let something out. This may just have been a product of the sensation of mucus being a hard thing to squeeze in. I don't know.
Anyway, my solution to the mucus issue has been a long strip of toilet paper, doubled over a couple of times and laid carefully inside my underwear, hooked over the back to stop it making a bid for freedom down my trouser leg. As other sufferers on this thread will know, the knowledge that your backside is leaking onto a makeshift nappy under your clothes does not fill one with a sense of one's own attractiveness. I have a horrible feeling I'm going to be single forever, now. I have not yet been able to imagine how a fledgeling relationship could gracefully jump over the 'just mind whilst I change my anal incontinence nappy' barrier. (I'm 33. This stuff's meant to still be working, I believe.)
I paid my visits to the doctor, then the consultant, then the man with the endoscope. Seems that no matter what they stick up there, the news is that it all looks fine. Which is a relief, in one sense - glad there's no serious condition - but also a black cloud of doom, because if I'm fine and healthy, then there are no tools in the box for fixing the drip.
Like a few people on here, I've long entertained bouts of IBS. I've also always been a bit (wait for it) anal about anal hygiene. I wonder whether all this is my own fault, for trying too hard to be too clean. I don't partake in sexual practices that would involve introducing foreign objects to the offending area. I just want it to operate as advertised, please.
For something essentially trivial, it's a real pain, isn't it? As mentioned, it's a serious barrier to starting a relationship. The moment I meet someone I could potentially be interested in, the awareness that I basically leak excrement pops into my head, and I give up on the idea. Beach holidays are out of the question for, essentially, ever - can't loll about in swim shorts with six inches of Andrex hanging out the back. I live in the hope of checking the toilet paper to find it's clean. That only ever happens when it's been applied some hours after the last toilet visit. I haven't had a bowel movement that wasn't follwed by this since it started.
Most important thing: thank you to all those who have come on this thread to offer possible solutions and a positive attitude. I suppose I can now try everything from turmeric to a complete diet reload to attempt to shift this. (The consultant, apparently out of ideas, suggested I try Anusol - which makes absolutely no claims to be of any use at all for this purpose. I tried applying it on the surface, to no effect. I think I'm meant to use the long nozzle to apply it internally. I haven't worked up to this yet. The cruel irony is that I really, really don't like anything going up there. Or the notion of adding another 5 minutes to the morning routine to handwash excrement off a plastic bottle. But, if that's what we've come to...)
Thank you, also, just to people who've written here just to announce themselves as also putting up with this massively irratating pain in the...y'know. It is good not to feel like the only person who has sprung a leak.
If I manage to cure this through anything less extreme than total rectotomy or the application of concrete, I'll let you all know.
Hi everyone. Seems I have similar symptoms. Sharing what I have learned. Loa off water, increase fiber, reduce sugar and gluten. Exercise your anal muscles and learn to poop squatting.

I have the same issue of having mucus in my stools, and/or intestines. I have many bowel movements in a day. I am often bloated. I also take alot of Advil, for many reasons. I take 40 mg of Provostatin. I didn't realize it had this side effect. I haven't gone to a doctor about this yet. I did talk to my GP.
I've had this at times since my teens. Skipping any speculations on how any of us wound up with this uncomfortable messy reality, I move on to Coping Methods.
Frankly- we're NOT all going to be comfortable managing this the same ways. So it's been a set of trial and modifications to find ways that work for each of us. There's countless sorts of absorbent pads sold for feminine uses and urinary incontinence which may be exasperatingly frustrating in being way over or under sized/absorbent/not that comfy for us.
And getting over the EMOTIONAL baggage of a guy using something sold as for women is often arguably MORE upsetting than the condition making us need pads or tampons in the first place. That need likely being a tie with enemas for emotional baggage potential overriding using things that WORK for us.
Which was the point of my setup on Coping. It took me a large number of years to accept that enemas as pre-mitigation of this could often grant me near total banishment of the mess. And accepting that conditional use of absorbent items such as pads or tampons gave me additional ways to make this go from hell to mere managed awareness.
EU/Canada residents have an option of Anal Tampons purpose designed for that use. In my personal experience, the smallest feminine hygiene tampon that works for howevermuch protection is needed can be life changing in stopping worry over these leaks..
If the thought of putting a tampon in anally is scary- do consider the risk-reward ratios that countless women do monthly and revisit the EU/CA sites&research on purpose designed anal tampons. Learning curves may vary but it has allowed me to often nearly forget I have this condition.
There's the often not thought of option-using a non-applicator tampon as a held between the cheeks placement. And recently I saw an advert for adhesive pads that are designed to fit between ones cheeks called ";Butterfly" which is a modification of the venerable A-R-D pads that surgeons often recommend.
Oh-almost forgot - washable cloth pads are another option WELL worth exploring. Women are getting more comfortable with them for menstruation and can become VERY evangelistic on the concept. There's few reasons to NOT consider cloth washables if you could get comfy with them and your discharge level warrants them.
Either we control our health management or it controls us.
I've been reading these posts as I just started leaking about 2 months ago. I've seen some connections to medicine and wondering if anyone has asthma / takes Advair regularly. I know a possible sie effect is thrush for mouth, but wondering if it can cause something similar at the other end? unfortunately I have a desk job and sit all day and it seems like I just can't get past noon with out feeling moist.
Just experiencing some of these symptoms and it's very scary. I think your relax advice is very good as stress is my biggest issue with my body as it creates all sorts of issues for me. Very difficult to be a man when your body is behaving in strange ways when you know you are not being dealt with honestly by those close to to you so it is a real heavy knock on effect.
I have asthma
Hey guys,
I've have exactly the same problem as you.
Have a wet pants all day because of sweat/leakage and weird yellow stool for years now.
Escpecially before a bowel movement or urge to urinate the sweating in my crack accumulates.
The leakage/or wet anus/ I have the whole day.
But(t) the sweating when I have the urge, makes the back of my pants wet in like a minute. it's soaked.
I recently took a course of metronidazole(flagyl) which made my stool normal again and the leakage problem went away completely.
I thougt I was cured.
When the course was over, the problem kicked in as hard is it was.
Doctor's still don't know what is wrong.
I got surgery few weeks ago. They drained an abcess between both anal sphincters.
They discoverd it during a fissure operation. Maybe this all has something to do with my problem. I just can't seem to understand the yellow stool.
I'll keep you posted in my way to get my life back.
I am a 60, female, in and relatively good shape. I noticed a mucousy discharge without any scent after I began taking medication for a cryptococcal infection. I already eat a natural whole foods diet and exercise. I am a healthy weight. I look forward to seeing if this goes away when I stop taking the medication, which will be in another month or two .
I too had been on all the Statins there are. I stopped them some 8 months ago. I never used to have Anus discharge issues prior to having taken this medication. is it linked? I don't know. embarrassing? Sure is and reluctant also to see the Doctor because of embarrassment.
Take it from me. been on Statins for many years. I am more than certain they are the problems for your breathing difficulties. Do some research on it and you be horrified on the patterns on this. As for your other problem? I don't know if it is also related to the Statins or not.
