A member asked:
3 yr old with two weeks off and on mucus coated soft stool. one time was small amount of mucus only. no pain or other symptoms. should i be worried?

Probably Not: Mucoid stool per se does not indicate any particular disease process. I would not worry as long as she has bowel movements less than 4 times a day, not associated with fever or bloody stool.
