Hi Heidi,
Blood and mucous in stool is a symptom of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Please get checked by a gastroenterologist!
Take care,

I've had mucus in my stool for about two years.Now I also notice blood. What could this be a symtom of?
Hi Greg, sounds like you need more soluble fiber in your diet. With more fiber you need to drink more water. Try a bran cereal it works for me.
I am not a specialist of any type, but what it sounds like to me is a problem in your rectal area.
I have been told that , when blood in the stool is a digestive (Ulcer) or liver problem, the stool will be black in color and have a tar like consistancy.
If I were you, I would watch my fiber intake.
It is not good to have to little or to much.
If you have GERD (Reflux Disease), I would ask my Dr. for Prevacid or Prilosec.
