Let me explain: A small amount of mucus in stool is usually nothing to worry about. Stool normally contains a small amount of mucus . Mucus in stool can occur with a variety of intestinal infections that cause severe diarrhea. In more-serious conditions crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and even cancer mucus in stool may be bloody or accompanied by abdominal pain.
