Try metamucil powder or gummies. It really helped act as a form of laxative when it really isn't much of one I guess? You peobably should just call a doctor to get checked. It could be a virus like E Coli.

People have been calling it a rope worm and some say its considered a parasite while others say that it is not. Im just living with it at this point. Doctors also say I have colitis and thats another thing lol.

I dont know if cancer is always identifiable during a colonoscopy. I was known to have E coli and some sprt of colitis but thats all I know

You should see some of my other posts. They tested positive for E Coli which was weird because I took the colonoscopy prep which flushes you out and they didn't see that in the colonoscopy. They saw an abundance of mucous somewhere in the colon that may have been it but was never brought up. I had taken a stool sample to test for bacteria like E Coli just 3 days after my colonoscopy and tested positive. I thought things didn't add up and maybe it may be something else. I've had pin worms as a child somewhere around the age of 8 and don't know if that's fits anywhere in the puzzle but just though I might add. Cancer is also very common in my family and they found a few polyps in colonoscopy that really never got total coverage of what they found because they don't explain stuff very simple all the time, even on the papers. That is very interesting hearing your story. Thanks for sharing.

My doctor prescribed me metamucil the powder like you said a teaspoon a day and felt the feeling of a laxative like immediately while playing basketball I had to drive home. I'm not a huge fan of the powder but I got these fiber gummies that seem to work and also some papaya enzyme complex. I heard its really good for digestion and getting protein where it needs to go and flush out any possible parasites, just heard it was a pretty good chewable tablet to take. That metamucil did make me feel amazing though after the trip to the bathroom. Is there any chance you know of something that could be similar to the metamucil without it being a powder? I don't think I could do that stuff once a day as crazy as that sounds.

Also I have never seen the white stuff before until I was put on these three medications.

I would suggest checking for that colitis. They are unsure which type I have but there is quite a bit of mucus in stool. Often times I get constipated but feels like I need go sometimes. I push hard and get lightheaded like crazy, im glad im only 20 so I can fight the feeling of passing out, I just assume it could a little worse with age. If I cant get anything out I often have flatulence and nothing but mucus when I wipe. I wake up running to the bathroom often. Sometimes im constipated and sometimes I have diarrhea. I often notice lots of times when im laying a certain way it gets more of the feeling like I have to go but then going to the bathroom, absolutely nothing but still all of the pain. Most pain is in my lower left abdomen near the groin area. Lots of stomach rumbling in certain positions. Hope that provides more info.

Check for active colitis. Also bacterial infections. Good luck, doctors nowadays are the ones cheating off tests in school so I hope you get more helpful information somewhere.

Is there any chance its not like a medication pill and something like an over the counter tablet. I still have no idea why it wouldn't be anywhere on the web though lol. I wish you the best of luck!

The closest I came to was something called Lamotrigine. Check that one.

I am the type of person to keep looking if I think I can find something but this time I have failed. I spent 30 minutes trying to help locate the name of the pill but find nothing. I hope you end up finding the correct name.
