Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, there can be several causes for mucous in stool. In most of the cases, it may be due to intestinal infection.

Still, please let me know do you have history of abdominal pain, fever, blood in stool, any change in bowel habits, constipation/loose motion, weight loss?

In that case, I would suggest you to consult with gastroenterologist for detailed clinical examination. He may procure complete hemogram, stool analysis, Colonoscopy/ computed tomography scan abdomen SOS as per evaluation. Further treatment is mainly depends upon the underlying condition.

Meanwhile, you can take probiotic supplements. Increase fluid intake. Avoid hot/spicy/acidic food. Do regular exercise.

Hope I have answered your query.
