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.

They may also cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramping. If the infection is in the small intestine, symptoms include watery diarrhea and vomiting. Infections in the large intestine can cause diarrhea and can result in an invasive and inflammatory disease called dysentery (small fecal volume with mucus and blood) (Table SI-1). Table SI-1.
