Hello there,
If you have had any of these foodstuffs - okra, papaya, psyllium(isabgol), any diet food type mix that advertises to be filling yet has very less calories then it is most likely that it is harmless. These foods contain mucilaginous type of fibre that will seem like jelly in your stool. Keep a watch on your stool for a month . if it persists or recurrs then we can discuss alternate diagnosis.
Hope this helps, please feel free to address further queries to me. I will be happy to help you.
