A member asked:
Mucous in stool, no pain, no fever. but 24 hours of just mucous about 6xs. i do have ibs and a lot of stress. plus meds. should i worry?

Prob not.: Likely this is a manifestation of your IBS. You indicate you have a lot of stress right now and that could be behind this. No blood in stool? Weight loss? No pain is good sign too. Try to destress and see how it goes.

Not necessarily: Intermittent stools high in mucus are normal with IBS.
