Mucus: Irritable bowel syndrome can have associated mucus in stools. Another possibility is good poisoning or intolerance to foods containing gluten, fructans or lactose. Harsh roughage in your diet may now cause loose movements,also. If symptoms persist consult a gastroenterologist for evaluation and dietary advice.
