Hi refinnejlee,
A noticeable amount of mucus in stool is not nprmal. It could be due to infection, irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel diseases.
You need to be treated for that.

I have crohns disease and I get that mucus frequently. My stool samples come back negative for infection. So I think it just has to do with inflamation of the intestines. See a GI Doctor.
Dr. Kini is correct. I was having a lot of mucos in my stool and my tummy was hurting. I thought it was from all the laxatives I was taking for constipation. Then one day, not too long ago, I noticed that parts of my stool were black. Went running to a GI doc and had a colonoscopy. Guess what....."Inflammatory Bowl Disease" ULCERATIVE COLITIS to be exact. Not with diarreah but with constipation. If your in a flare up now, get to the doctor quickly.
Thank you very much for your input...I'll make an appointment today to see my GP!
