A member asked:
What would cause alot of mucus in stool at times ? and any advice untill see doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small intestine make a jelly like substance to keep large intestine or colon moist or lubricated. If you see mucus occasionally, it is ok. If you notice increase in mucus frequently or regularly, you should see your doctor. Dehydration and constipation are common causes hence increasing water intake and avoiding constipation can be done while awaiting visit with the doctor. Hope it helps.
