If : If it is in fact mucous, there are a variety of causes. I will list them for you: irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) food allergies ulcerative colitis intestinal bacterial infection mal-absorption syndromes ano-rectal fissures bowel obstruction celiac disease diverticulitis i recommend you visit your primary care provider for a complete medical evaluation.

The bowel itself: produces mucous! Excessive amounts may be associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Consult your PCP who may recommend some testing to confirm. Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
