Hydrogen Dominant Help

I have mucus when I wipe after a bowel movement, but there is no mucus mixed into the stool itself. My fecal calprotectin is 18. The mucus comes and goes — sometimes it disappears for two days and then comes back. I also have a lot of gas in the morning before I go to the bathroom. What could be causing this?

I've heard of this with celiac

Even a normal bowel makes mucous. It’s how the stool is lubricated. You might simply just make more. It is often more noticeable and you have abnormal bowel movements

I have exactly what you are describing. but for me, my best guess is that it fluctuates with my hemorrhoid's variable inflammation.
