Fiber and water: You need to increase your intake of fiber and water. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil. You may also increase your intake of fiber foods. With either or both drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless. Do not worry about the mucus. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
