[7] As snare, noose, and net, signify such things, they also signify the destruction of the spiritual life, and thus perdition; for the delights of these loves are what destroy and lead into perdition, because, as before said, all evils spring from these loves.
Diarrhea is generally a sign of intestinal distress, and the presence of mucus only further complicates the condition. Irritable bowel syndrome can cause stomach pain as well as mucus in diarrhea. Obstructions or growths in the intestines can be a source of mucus in diarrhea. Prolonged diarrhea may cause dehydration. Recurring incidences of mucus in diarrhea should be examined by a health care professional.
Chronic diarrhea, defined as a decrease in stool consistency for more than four weeks, is a common but challenging clinical scenario. It can be divided into three basic categories: watery, fatty (malabsorption), and inflammatory. Watery diarrhea may be subdivided into osmotic, secretory, and functional types. Watery diarrhea includes irritable bowel syndrome, which is the most common cause of functional diarrhea. Another example of watery diarrhea is microscopic colitis, which is a secretory diarrhea affecting older persons.
