Brief Answer:
Hello.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.
Yes mucous in the body is not digested hence comes out in stools.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed antihistamines + mucolytics for 2 weeks and leukotriene antagonist daily for 3 months.
This will surely help.
Avoid Curds and oily food in this season.
Drink boiled water only.
Hope my answers have helped you.
Pleased to help you further. Thanks.

I don't think there is any issue to worry about.
As I suggested just take some antihistamines + mucolytics for a week. It will dry up the mucous.
Avoid oily and cold items as it may increase mucous production and also hamper your digestion.
Keep your diet light and easily digestable.
