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!

Small amounts of mucus in stool isn't significant and occurs in irritable bowel syndrome which you may be experiencing in view of all these symptoms. I assume diarrhea has occurred off&on as your stools were checked for parasites. Can you identify foods which trigger symptoms? I recommend abstaining from harsh roughage. A gastroenterologist can advise you further as needed.
