[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.
Mucus lubricates surfaces and allows materials to pass smoothly. Some amount of mucus in the stool is normal; however, significant amounts of mucus and mucus accompanied by diarrhea, pain or blood may signify an intestinal condition such as infection or inflammation. Increased amounts of mucus in the stool can also occur with cancers of the colon or rectum or with bowel obstruction. Inflammatory conditions of the bowel, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohnâs disease, can cause abdominal cramping and bloating. Diarrhea is common with these conditions, although constipation can also occur. In addition, blood may be present in the stool as a result of ongoing damage to the intestinal lining.
