A member asked:
I noticed mucus in my stool, what could be the cause of this? i have been on a junk food binge after a long period of healthy eating.

Repeated occurrence?: If this occurs only for a couple of days, I won't lose sleep over it in the absence of other symptoms. If this lasts more than a couple of weeks or gets worse, then you need to see your doctor about it. It is hard to know what is the cause without knowing more details .
