What does mucoid plaque look like?

I just posted about passing mucous with gas, and mentioned that since starting bc'ing yesterday, I have had a few normal-looking brown-log stools. But actually, with this morning's enema, the brown log was long, twisted and pinched, as I've seen pictures of mucoid plaque, only it was brown, not black. I cannot believe it would have been mucoid plaque because I only started a very light cleansing regimen yesterday. But that would be cool if it was.
I've seen photos of slimy green stuff, the rope-y dark stuff, sme hard-looking black chips, and have read descriptions of mucoid plaque as being like black tire rubber. What is what?

MoreThis is a reply to # 453,219I just had to go again, and this time passed two brown logs, 4" and 6". One looked normal, and one was pinched and twisted, as I described before. I gathered my nerve and a plastic comb and began poking at the poop. Both pieces were like soft rubber, would not break apart. Now, I have never poked at my poop before, so I don't know if it is normally rubbery... but I wouldn't think so. I'm really excited.

MoreThis is a reply to # 453,220Is it possible to pass mucoid plaque on day 2 of a light cleansing regime?
DAY 1... Morning: 1 heaping TBSP of sugar-free Konsyl (psyllium) powder in warm chocolate milk. A fleet enema, not very productive. Later in day, a large, regular MB, smooth and brown. Bedtime: 2 heaping teaspoons of same Konsyl, again in warm chocolate milk.
DAY 2... Morning, did not take Konsyl, but did a Fleet enema. One of the logs (for lack of a better word, sorry) looked pinched and twisted. A while later, went again, but could not see what passed. Later, (not on toilet!) passed some gas and a blob of clear foul-smelling mucous came with it. Later, had to go again - two rubbery logs, one looked normal the other pinched and twisted.

This is a reply to # 453,222I realize I'm talking to myself here... ;-)
I've been reading the archives, and have decided I'm lucky... or not. I have no doubts now that I have begun passing mucoid plaque on DAY 2, using only psyllium powder that I bought at Wal-Mart for fourteen dollars, and (so far) two Fleet enemas that I also bought at Wal-Mart for about a dollar each. I have been eating regularly, not fasting, and drinking more of my favorite drinks like decaffeinated, sweetened iced tea, and even Vanilla Coke yesterday.
It astounds me that the mucoid has started already. I cannot figure out how it hasn't come out before, but I've never seen stools like this before, I swear. (It even feels different coming out, like it looks.) I'm thinking this must mean I have A LOT of it to expel. How toxic am I? Let me tell you about my health history.
My mom hated to cook, so I had a poor diet as a child. Canned foods, boxed foods, junk foods, pop, etc. Aside from periodic bronchitis, I was "healthy" until my early adulthood. In my early twenties, I developed severe asthma, then type 1 diabetes, then hypothyroidism. Although I have a small frame, thin/average body, I have often struggled with a poochy belly. Semi-constipation has been a lifelong problem for me, but I never related the two, duh! Now, in my early thirties, following two back-to-back pregnancies, I am working to get my flat stomach back. I came across the concept of bowel cleansing and decided to see what I could do. It looks like I've started something!
I'm very intrigued by what might happen over the next days, weeks, and how it will affect my well-being and energy, looks, overall health and attitude. If things stop, then I will switch to susing soomething like Homozon, or use some bentonite? We'll see. I am definitely going to start some sort of Poop Diary! Lol- Maybe it's not MC...=o( letitrain

I haven't had a reply to my last query...so I've been thinking about it.
I'm on Day8 of The Master Cleanse with added Bentonite clay and psyllium husks four times a day. I have had one or two bowel movements every day and they are always dark brown 'ropes' or pieces of the rope...and they are extremely rubbery...poke 'em with a stick and it just bounces back! They DO look like they'd be inside of an intestine...like the mold of one...not what would be caked on the side, but the whole intestine. Now, I know that my intestines aren't completely blocked like these eliminations suggest! hmmm.
So...these bowel movements seem to me to be...all the psyllium and Bentonite that I've been taking moves into the colon and as it waits it's turn to be eliminated it gels into the shape of the intestine, taking a perfect mold. (that psyllium stuff does gel up in the glass of water) Thankfully this combination of psyllium and Bentonite DOES suck up toxins (I'm told) and the psyllium obviously finds some dark brown fecal matter to absorb as well. (where does it find it? after days of not eating? i don't know!) All this is good. But I was really under the impression that all that rubbery rope I was eliminating was solid, old matter that I was cleaning out! I understand that I AM cleaning matter out, it's just in a new shape....

Are the ropes firm and rubbery enough to pick up without them breaking apart? Not all plaque will be hollow, it will often be filled with psyllium or bowel contents. I doubt that the Bentonite clay will form into long ropes, it absorbs toxins then is pushed out by normal bowel actions. The psyllium can absorb 40 times its weight in liquid and mold itself to the shape of the large intestine, but does not have a firm rubbery texture. You can normally break a psyllium bowel movement apart by gentle stirring. The mucoid plaque will not necessarily be real hard, but it is firm and holds its shape. It takes practice, but you can tell the difference.

Okay, I need to stop obsessing now and clean the house. Anybody reading this, post back!- NO, it must be PSYLLIUM. letitrain

This is a reply to # 453,225Okay, sigh! I do not not believe I have been passing mucoid plaque, unfortunately. I'm sorry to keep posting here (!) but I think this is worth talking about. I think what I have been passing was the actual psyllium doses I took yesterday morning and last night. Here is why...
Just now I mixed up a dose of psyllium powder in my usual warm chocolate milk. I was zealous, and decided to do a double dose - FOUR heaping teaspoons in the 8 oz of milk. Needless to say, it was hard to swallow, after two determined gulps I had to stop. I added more milk to dilute the stuff a bit more, and noticed that a firm blob had formed in the cup, psyllium/chocolate milk. I pulled the blob out with my fingers and it strung out in a firm, rubbery consistency - not breaking as I draped it over the spoon handle. It looked and felt remarkably like the strange bowels I passed earlier today. And this was within seconds of stirring the powder into liquid! I'm sure the portion I swallowed is now going down my esophagus in this same form - strung out and globby/rubbery.
No, i never had bowels like the strange ones I had today, but I've never swallowed psyllium, either! I'm a little disappointed. I have been reading posts about determining whether he bowel was Mucoid or Psyllium, and I read how excreted psyllium will break up, not be rubbery. But if the psyllium solution solidifies to "rubber" in one's throat, is it not likely that it could stay in that form all the way through the body? My first rubbery poop was about 24 hours after my first psyllium swallow.
Thanks for reading... Your comments would be GREATLY appreciated!- Re: NO, it must be PSYLLIUM. GMS

This is a reply to # 453,226Pretty interesting discussion you've been having with yourself here... ;)
This has been a matter of debate here quite a bit and the problem with the hypothesis of it being psyllium that is forming the nasties in the toilet, is that they should consistently form, uniformly and to the same degree/amount of psyllium that you intake, right?
That doesn't happen. But I don't believe you are passing plaque...yet. I believe that no matter what kind of good health a person is in, slim, overweight, active, inactive...there is this stuff in the small intestines that just accumulates over time. It just seems to be a fact...sure, some have it more than others. But Bentonite has been used to centuries to clean out the GI tract. The psyllium, in the case of the shakes, is really just to get you regular, but it does also have some cleansing properties. I have said many times that the real magic here is the bentonite. I stick by that and with 100% confidence turn friends on to it. Just got my best friend started today, in fact.
The longer you take the shakes, the less of it you will pass. That's been the experience of everyone who has stuck to the program. There will come a time when you are no longer passing the nasties despite continued intake of the P&B. And I mean the REAL nasties...like the black rubbery stuff, not the stuff you are talking about. The first day after you started taking the shakes just seems too early to me...not impossible, but seems really unlikely.
However, I really can't say what taking a whopping 4 teaspoons full of that would do to the output. I can't imagine that it would be good and can't imagine myself swallowing that much of that gooey slimey stuff like that! And wouldn't suggest that anyone try it! I'm only speaking from experience here...as I'm not a medical person at all. The nasties will begin to be less and less over time, despite the continued intake of the shakes. You'll just have to go on trust on this one...I did and it worked for me. Now I only take a shake every couple of days just to keep regular (need to do that more) and I continue to use the Bentonite b/c I believe it has properties that are truly beneficial. Do a google for 'research' on this stuff and you'll see what amazing properties it has. There may also be some articles here on CZ, I don't know...
But again, this topic has been discussed quite a bit and for those who have completed it, there is just no way that REAL plaque is psyllium. What you are passing is just an overload of the psyllium, IMO. When you pass what looks like a bicycle inner tube and smells like satan just took a dump in your bathroom, you will know it - loud and clear.
Hope that helps...!- Thanks =o) letitrain

This is a reply to # 453,228The more I talk today, the more idiotic I feel, and the more I research about mucoid plaque, the more unsure I become about anything! The souces who say it exists seem to be pushing their expensive products... but the people who say it does NOT exist have never tried losing it themselves. It seems like the only way to find anything out for sure is to continue trying it myself and see what happens.
I'm glad for this board, to read other people's experiences and get ideas for what to try. Thanks, GMS, for joining my lonely discussion!- MORE!!! letitrain

This is a reply to # 453,229I just passed some more of the mystery stuff, this time it was longer and globbier, but still brown. I am suddenly quite bold when it comes to my poop - this time I reached right into the toilet and held the specimen up by the tail to examine it, a mangly string of chunks that was almost a foot long. These poops hurt my bum-hole! This makes a total of over 30" of poop for today, with 26+" of it matching the descriptions and photos of mucoid plaque, like gallery image19, if I remember right, only not as dark.
I don't know WHAT is going on, but it is adding excitement to my day, LOL, and a great sense of accomplishment!
I wonder... what accounts for the time difference when different people start to lose mucoid plaque? I think, if this is the real deal, that I might just have a LOT of it to begin with.- Re: MORE!!! Blueduck
