[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.
Diarrhea is not always a sign of illness. For some children, the occasional bout may be normal, even if it contains mucus. The key is to know when diarrhea is a symptom of a problem. Factors to evaluate include the frequency and consistency of the stool.
