Hello,
Mucus in the stool is commonly due to infection, malabsorption, IBS, food intolerance(lactose). Sometimes, it is also due to side effects of Miralax when taken for a longer time.
Report to your treating doctor so that the dose can be monitored or a different medication can be given. Keep the doctor informed of all the medications you are taking, serious side effects can occur due to drug interactions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
