Constipation can cause mucus in stool. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!

Constipation can cause mucus in your stool. You may also have irritable bowel syndrome which would account for your constipation, feeling of incomplete bowel movements as well as the mucus. You should see your doctor to diagnose and treat irritable bowel syndrome. Best of luck to you!
