Hello,
Brown slimy stools indicate underlying intestine infection or some sort of inflammatory issue. As per my clinical experience, primary care with the probiotic, gastrointestinal specific antibiotic course for a week or so cover the majority of the cases; later on, if required may need further in-depth evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
