A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mucousy diarrhea: Mucus discharge occurs in up to 50% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome, with or without pain. Mucus may also be produced in response to inflammatory bowel, partial obstruction, obstipation, rectal dysfunction, infection, ; even from secretory villous tumors of the rectum. At the very least stool studies ; probably a sigmoidoscopy should be considered, particularly if fever has manifest.
