Hi and welcome aboard. 

Your question and background is VERY vague.  With the information provided it's difficult to think about answering. 

More detailed information provided the easier to get an answer. 

 

From googling.....

 

 

Mucus in stool can occur due to a number of possible reasons, including: 

 

Normal amount

A small amount of mucus in stool is normal and helps keep the colon lubricated. 

 

Intestinal infection

A large amount of mucus in stool, especially when accompanied by diarrhea, could be a sign of an intestinal infection. Infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, and can lead to other symptoms like fever, vomiting, and abdominal pain. 

 

Food intolerance or allergy

Food sensitivities can cause inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, which can lead to excess mucus. 

 

Dehydration

Dehydration can cause excess mucus in stool, but it usually goes away on its own. 

 

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

This functional gastrointestinal disorder can cause changes in bowel habits and mucus in stool. 

 

Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis

These inflammatory bowel diseases can cause mucus in stool, and bloody mucus or mucus with abdominal pain may be a sign of a more serious condition. 

 

Colon cancer

A noticeable increase in mucus in stool, especially if accompanied by other symptoms, could be a sign of bowel cancer. 

 

If you're concerned about the amount of mucus in your stool, or if you're experiencing other symptoms, you should consult your doctor.

 

Hope this helps.

    6 months on carnivorand having mucus in stool. Just looking for answers.

    It could be temporary from being ill or eating something that may have been going bad. You would expect this to resolve in time.

    If it doesn't resolve, gets worse, or is accompanied by blood (dark blood in the stool, not light blood on the toilet paper from a hemorrhoid or over-wiping) then you may want to see a doctor. It could be anything from anxiety to ulcerative colitis - which I used to have so i know what it's like to have snot on the wrong end.

    • March Motivation Challenge! - Enter to WIN!

      "Marching into March with Much Motivation"

      For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol. 

       

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. 

      The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

      Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing. Back-to-back posts count as 1 entry as a counter to spamming.

      Attending Monday night zoom also counts as a bonus entry. Being a supporter of our YouTube channel also gives you an entry.

      Let's keep our resolutions going strong!

    • February Fasting Challenge - Enter to WIN!

      Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!

      For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).

      An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner. 

      If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol. 

      Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Every Reply in this topic will count as an entry for this month's prize drawing.

    • "World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!

      Today is the first day of January and is also the first day of World Carnivore Month. To that end, let's challenge ourselves to eat a carnivore diet for the entire month of January. The type of carnivore diet and the level of strictness you choose to do is entirely up to you. Examples of carnivore diets include the following... 1) The Lion Diet. A person eating the Lion Diet only consumes the flesh of ruminant animals, water, and salt. 2) The BBBE Diet. BBBE is an acronym for Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs.  3) The Carnivore Diet. This allows for the consumption of any and all animals and animal by-products, including dairy.  In any of the above examples, the object of course is to not consume any plants as part of your diet. Of course, we're not going to micromanage hoe you prepare your food, so your use of seasonings is entirely your own personal choice. IF your circumstances don't allow you to go full on carnivore in January, then you can participate in this topic by challenge yourself to do better, above and beyond what you have been doing. For example, if you have still been eating grains, seed oils, refined sugar, or drinking alcohol, challenge yourself to avoid these items and just eat a clean, single ingredient whole foods diet such as clean keto, ketovore, or animal based.  We encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk.  Participants in this topic will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.
