Health Conditions that Cause Mucus in Stool. A sudden onset of mucus in the stool, accompanied by urgent diarrhea, cramping, fever, and blood in the stool may be indicative of a bacterial infection. If you are having any of these symptoms, contact your physician immediately.
Mucus in the intestine also protects the intestinal lining from potentially harmful substances. Diseases that cause inflammation or irritation of the intestinal tract can cause the intestines to produce excess mucus, which is usually eliminated in the stool.
