Greasy vs. mucusy?: Are you seeing oily stools with floating oil droplets (which implies fat maldigestion from use of dietary fat blockers, pancreatic and/or biliary disease, small bowel malabsorption, or excessive dietary fat intake) vs mucusy stool (due to a range of conditions from inflammatory, infectious, ischemic, or "functional" due to rectal dysfunction, colon delay, or irritable bowel syndrome)? Need tests.

Stool: It is difficult to tell what is happening but it could be a viral infection or just a general he upset stomach I was suggest you stop eating any food for 24 hours and only drink liquids preferably clear and then see if this clears it up if this does not improve it I think you should see your doctor

Need more info: There are several things that will cause this including infection and it would be wise to consult with a gastroenterologist ASAP. Ask your family physician for a referral.

An infection: depending on how long this has been going on and any other medical problems you have - may need workup or treatment, You need to see a Doctor. In the meantime- plenty of fluids and avoidance of alcohol may help.
