M.D.: The initial infection may have been caused by a viral or bacterial gastroenteritis. Since there is blood and mucus in the stool, a visit with your physician is suggested. Avoid over the counter medications and drink fluids. Taking a Probiotic can help promote recovery of the GI tract. If you are not gaining weight in the next two weeks, a further workup will be done to determine the cause.
