Are a few small scattered white pieces of mucus in the stool a cause for concern?

In general, a few scattered white pieces of mucus in the stool are not a cause for concern. Causes for concern would be black or bloody stools, weight loss, or significant change in bowel habits. These things would warrant seeing a gastroenterologist.

Would bile problems cause the entire stool to be white or just small spots on the stool? Doesn't look like mucous, it looks as hard as the stool.
