This weekend I probably ate too much. I went out to eat on Saturday night to the Outback... mmmm. Then Sunday night I made Namasi (sp) gluten free, casien free, soy free, brownies. Oh my they were good!
But this morning I had normal BMs but on the tissue there was a decent amount of mucous. Is this a sign that something didnt agree with me and my body is reacting to it, or it is just normal to have a few of these a month?
Oh yeah anyone who eats at Outback- They roll their baked potato in butter and salt before baking! Just found this out so this brings up two statements. One is that does butter have protien in it 9being the casein) because it doesnt say it has any measurable protien on the package? And my second statement is make sure to ask about baked pototato from now on!

Good food but mucous
Dr Fine test shows positive for gluten and casien but negative for soy, eggs, and yeast
Maybe its UC maybe its MC? Who knows at this point, but at least I know my intollerances now... so heres to the road to healing!

Mike,
Mucus, (as you probably know), is a solution of mucins, (mucoproteins), water, electrolytes, and white blood cells, that is secreted by mucous membranes, in order to help protect and lubricate the internal surfaces of the body. The body does this primarily to prevent, and/or minimize, an inflammatory response that is occurring, or might otherwise occur. Basically, small amounts should always be present, in order to help prevent inflammation, whereas significant amounts are usually connected with actual, ongoing inflammaton.
That said, I don't think that it necessarily implies an MC reaction. It could be an aftereffect of the SIBO treatment that you just finished - IOW, it could be caused by bacteria "sorting out the pecking order", as they seek to establish or re-establish colonies in your gut.
Incidentally, before I healed, those brownie mixes always caused problems for me, but the ones I tried contained sorghum flour, or sorghum juice sweetners, which seems to affect those of us who are sensitive to the zein in corn. Your reaction came too soon, though, to allow for normal transit time after eating the brownies, so the mucus probably didn't come from them.
Butter doesn't have a heck of a lot of protein, but it has a little. As you can see from the table at this site, it has only about three percent of the amount of protein that is in an equal amount of peanut butter, for example.

Hey Tex-
I guess there isnt a whole lot of protien in butter (but I am assuming those of us who are casein intolerant shouldnt have it).
What is the SIBO treatment Tex?
The was no sorghum of any sorts in that type of brownies mix. So you think that 12 hours later is not enough time for a reaction?
I used to remember as a kid I would eat some greasy pizza, or fast food, and litterally you could set a watch because no more than 5 mins later I would be in the BR with bad D. I used to be able to see the food I just ate (or so I thought). It is impossible for food to rip through you that quickly right?
Oh yeah I do believe that the Nasami brownies are corn free as well. They are really wonderful and moist. But I did not react as badly as I did when I had different brownies.
It wasnt much mucous at all, just a noticable amount on the tissues so I wont be too concerned unless I hear otherwise.
I discontinued my probiotic about 1 month ago do you think I should go back on it? Could that be causing the mucous and the bad bacteria settling back in?
Anyone have any lucky numbers?? (going to vegas thurs and fri)

Mike, you're right, of course.
As Andrew so artfully pointed out in another topic, it is indeed Monday. Sorry about that.Andrew,
SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, but never mind about that, since it was Mike who just finished that. That issue was what caused me to mistake you for Mike in the first place - when I read about the mucus, my warped brain automatically matched it up with the SIBO treatment.
Anyway, without any D, it should take approximately 30 hours or so, for a normal digestive system cycle time. An MC reaction is something else entirely, though. There are a lot of MCers who, if they accidentally ingest a meal that contains gluten, for example, don't even finish the meal, before they have to jump up and head for the bathroom.
Small amounts of mucus are usually nothing to be concerned about. I really can't advise you on the probiotics. I've never had any experience with them, and they are pretty much an individual issue - that is to say, they seem to affect many of us in different ways.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
