You may think of mucus as the slimy stuff that comes up when you cough or sneeze. But mucus can also show up in your stool. Many parts of our body make mucus, including our intestines. It lines our digestive tract and creates a protective layer against bacteria. It also helps waste pass smoothly through the colon. Some of this mucus can stick to the stool when it leaves the body. If this mucus in the stool is white or yellowish or has traces of blood, it may be a symptom of a digestive disease. Common conditions like constipation or diarrhea may cause mucus in stool. But the mucus may be a symptom of a more serious disease. In this blog, let’s explore what causes mucus in stool, its symptoms, and how homeopathic medicine can help with mucus in stool. 

What is Mucus in Stool?

Mucus in stool is a thick jelly-like or slimy substance in faeces. Mucus acts as a protective layer in the digestive tract, and small amounts of mucus in stools is normal. However, when there’s an excess amount of mucus in stool, there may be an underlying problem that should not be ignored especially when it is white, yellowish or mixed with blood. Mucus in stool can be caused by gastrointestinal issues like infections, inflammation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), solitary rectal ulcer or IBD. You should seek medical attention when there’s a lot of mucus in your stools and it has blood, your belly hurts and if you have diarrhea. 

What causes White Mucus in Stool

White mucus in stool happens due to digestive issues like infection or irritation in the intestines. Some common causes of mucus in stool are: 

  • Intestinal Infection: An infection in the intestines can trigger an immune response that leads to an increased white mucus in stool. When microorganisms like bacteria, viruses or parasites invade the intestinal tract, the body produces excess mucus as a protective mechanism. Along with mucus in stool, you can also experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting. 
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common, chronic gastrointestinal disorder that causes abdominal pain and changes in your bowel movements. White mucus in stool is a common symptom of IBS. Stress and anxiety can often worsen the symptoms, causing larger amounts of mucus in the stool and more frequent bowel movements.
  • Crohn’s Disease: A chronic inflammatory bowel disease that is characterized by inflammation and damage in the digestive tract. In some cases, Crohn’s disease causes the intestinal tract to produce excess mucus to protect the intestinal lining from chronic inflammation. 
  • Cystic Fibrosis: A genetic disorder that causes thick mucus buildup in the lungs, liver and digestive system. Sticky mucus blocks ducts in the pancreas, preventing enzymes from entering the small intestine. This can impair the digestion of food and lead to greasy, loose and mucus-filled stools. 

What are Mucus in Stool Causes?

Mucus in baby stool is not always a cause for concern. Babies may pass some mucus in their stool without any underlying condition. However, sometimes there are medical conditions that can cause mucus in stool, including infections, allergies and more. Here are a few causes of mucus in baby stool: 

  • Food Sensitivity: Consuming foods that babies are sensitive or allergic to can cause inflammation. Inflammation causes increased mucus secretion, which leads to more mucus in the baby’s stool. These symptoms will usually appear within a baby’s first two months of life. Signs a baby may have a food allergy include being fussy and hard to console, vomiting and abdominal pain. 
  • Teething: Teething babies aren’t only cranky – symptoms may include mucus in their stool. The presence of excess saliva and the pain from teething can irritate the intestines, resulting in excess mucus in the stool. 
  • Cystic Fibrosis: Babies with cystic fibrosis may have increased amounts of mucus as a side effect of this condition. The mucus tends to be foul-smelling and greasy in appearance. A child may also have poor weight gain and delayed growth related to cystic fibrosis. The condition also causes excess mucus to develop in organs, especially the lungs, pancreas, liver and intestines. 
  • Intussusception: It is a condition that can occur when an infant’s intestines slide into each other similar to a collapsible telescope or twisted balloon. Intussusception can lead to complications like bowel obstruction and dehydration. As a result, a baby may only be able to pass mucus that has been excreted below the blocked area.
