Butt Jelly

Pardon my crudeness in title, I'm not sure exactly what to call it! hehehehe

Ever since I was midway through chemo and radiation, I started passing a clear jelly. I usually have a horrible, horrible stomach ache followed by a huge bowel movement when I usually only go bits and pieces. Then for the rest of the day I pass only this clear jelly. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. My onc says it's due to radiation, my radiologist says it's due to chemo and I never quite get any answer. Anyone have any clues?

Thanks!

Jorie

    I do seem to remember something like this happening to me when I went through chemo. I just assumed it was extra chemo that made it through my body. I had forgotten this since it has been awhile since I had the chemo. At the time, it seemed scary but you have given me a good laugh today. Thanks,

    I have to agree, thanks for the laugh! Even though you only got a single response, i am willing to bet you got a lot of reads! Did that say BUTT JELLY?! I didn't get any clear jelly stuff, but I do tend to have diarrhea very often while on chemo. I didn't have radiation... is it mucus?

    Too fanny! I searched butt jelly so what does that say about me

    Yeah I have butt jelly sometimes and this is I think DOO to colon resection after colon cancer. I still get it sometimes and here it is 9 years later.

    Glad we think alike! Cheers
