typically bowel changes from introducing a healthy diet result in gas and some bloating as fiber is increased. this typically goes away after the body adjusts to more fiber. i am not aware of yellow mucous being a side effect of diet changes. mucous or blood in the stools should always be checked out by a healthcare provider so you are doing the right thing by making an appointment. good luck! for more on normal bowel movements see this webmd article.
dietary changes? . for about three weeks now i have been eating healthier foods and exercising regularly. i have been feeling great except i recently have been having changes in my stool. i keep feeling like i need to use the restroom but when i try all that comes out is some sort of yellow mucus. is this just my bodies reaction to my change in diet and exercise? i have made an appointment to see my health care physician but it is not until next week and i am really concerned.
