What Does Mucus In Stool Indicate?
Had more loose stools than normal. Took imodium and no bowel movement for 11/2 days. Went today with a little constipation. The stool looked like it had a white coating on it. I have been drinking lots of water, chicken broth, and white meat chicken. 3

Hello,
Are you passing mucous with or without blood? Normal stool contain little amount of mucous.
Here I mentioned few causes for passing mucous:
1. Bacillary/amoebic dysentery
2. Colitis
3. Malabsorption
4. Irritable bowel syndrome
5. Food intolerance
6. Hemorrhoids, fissure or fistulas et cetera
Use tablet Oflix Ornidazole twice a day for five days, avoid spicy food, alcohol, and caffeinated drinks. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
