A member asked:
I noticed couple strings of mucus while wiping after a bowel movement the other day.can metamucil fiber pills cause stringy mucus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A slight amount if mucus in stool is not a cause for concern & can occur in irritable bowel syndrome. On the other hand, a large amount of mucus in bowel movements raises concern for bowel pathology. It is felt that metamucil can cause a jelly like stool although I have never seen this.
