Unusual travel/diet?: So many possible causes of loose stool: infection, stress, conditions of the intestine, change in diet, or underlying disease. Best answer is from analysis of the stool and good evaluation of where you've been what you've eaten and who you have been near. Mucous of itself is more an indication of empty colon and not as worrisome as blood. Go see your doctor and get evaluated.
