You're having gas buildup or inability to pass it. Avoid gassy foods and beverages. Take simethicone 1/2 hour after meals&at bedtime to prevent gas buildup. Drinking hot water & applying heat to the abdomen breaks down gas & facilitates its passage through the intestinal tract and out the rectum. Mucus in stools occurs with irritable bowel syndrome. See your MD or a gastroenterologist as needed.
