Poop check: Sounds like your diarrhea has been a persistent problem for over 2 months. Given the description of mucus in the stool this raises the concern for infection or inflammation as an underlying cause. I would recommend being seen by your doctor where they get get stool studies looking for signs of infection. Based on the results they may find something to treat or consider further testing.
