Irritable bowel?: Abdominal cramps & mucus in the stool can be a sign of irritable bowel syndrome. It is best to have a Dr eval & basic lab tests to rule out other problems but it would also be reasonable to try daily use of Miralax or Metamucil to regulate bowel movements, plus extra fluids (water primarily) for a couple of weeks -often helps . Call Dr if fever, nausea, vomiting, or worsening pain
