Thank you very much for contacting healthcare magic.

You have problem of large mucus with stool that may be because of irritable bowel syndrom.

In irritable bowel syndrom more amount of mucus with change a consistency of stool.
Stomach pain with bloting is also present.
Ultrasound sonography is normal in irritable bowel syndrom.

Other intestinal infection like celiac disease more mucus secreation.
Colonoscopy is helpful for diagnose.

Some malabsoption syndrome may rule out.
Lactose intolerance may ruled out.

Do following investigation like .....
stool examination test,
abdominal ultrasound sonography,
At last of needed colonoscopy for further diagnosis.

I hope my guidance is helpful to you.

Take care.
Thank you very much.
Dr.Rachana.
