Hello,

The gastric upset or gastritis is not the underlying cause of concern for mucus in the stool , which is production of colon part. The remainder possibilities could be malabsorption issues, digestive enzyme deficiencies, pancreas or duodenal pathologies, inflammatory bowel diseases or others. In my clinic, I do recommend a colonoscopy report for best evaluation and if required a biopsy of large bowel may be need of time depending upon the concern of treating gastroenterologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
