A member asked:
Can gerd cause you to have mucus/gel like substance in your stool?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No worries: No, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) does not cause stool mucus. A small amount of mucus is produced by the intestine as a lubricant, so you needn't worry unless you see an increased amount. Hope that helps.
