You might have bloating and constipation, which are common symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The white sticky stuff might be mucus, a condition that comes with IBS. Failure to drink enough water can worsen these signs. It is advisable to take more water, eat foods with high fiber content, and avoid triggers such as spicy or fatty foods. Moreover, stress management is crucial alongside regular exercise. Should they persist seek further diagnosis and advice from a gastroenterologist.
