“I had a sticky bowel movement?”
I was recently in the hospital with colitis. Today I had a weird bowel movement. I have been constipated and today I finally go after like a week and it comes out like glue. So sticky I had to use wet wipes and it didn't want to come out. I have been experiencing terrible stomach problems and have been taking Zofran and Bentil I was prescribed at the hospital. My other current meds are suboxen, Zoloft, seroquil, and gabapentin. I am concerned that this glue-like BM is a warning sign that I should return to the hospital. Just need some advice.

No, that bowel movement does not sound concerning. After a bout of colitis, it is expected to have some alternation of bowel habits which will improve with time. Just eat healthy lighter foods for now.
