[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.
The three types of diarrhea are: acute diarrhea, persistent diarrhea, and dysentery. If an episode of diarrhea lasts less than 14 days, it is acute diarrhea. Acute watery diarrhea causes dehydration and contributes to malnutrition. The death of a child with acute diarrhea is usually due to dehydration. If the diarrhea lasts 14 days or more, it is persistent diarrhea. Up to 20% of episodes of diarrhea become persistent. Persistent diarrhea often causes nutritional problems, creating the risk of malnutrition and serious non-intestinal infection.
