Mucusy stool or ?: Are you seeing oily stools with floating oil droplets (which implies fat maldigestion from use of dietary fat blockers, pancreatic and/or biliary disease, small bowel malabsorption, or excessive dietary fat intake) or mucusy stool (due to a range of conditions from inflammatory, infectious, ischemic, or "functional" due to rectal dysfunction, colon delay, or irritable bowel syndrome)? Need tests.

Infection: Mucous in the stool is usually a sign of inflammation or infection. It would be wise to have your blood counts checked for signs of infection and a stool test for wbcs, ova & parasites, culture and blood.
