A member asked:
20yrs old. most likely cause for mucus in stool on an off and pasty textured stool on and off? dehydration a factor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation : Mucus in your stool may suggest inflammation, which could be acute (colitis) or chronic (Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis). If it's on and off in a chronic sense then you need an evaluation by a gastroenterologist.
