I think everyone gets clear mucus at some time or another - I have IBS and get loose stools in morning then late at night hard pellet like droppings that always have clear mucus. clear mucus is most common sign of IBS.  I think the only time to be concerned is if you pass huge and I mean huge amounts of mucus that persists for weeks or so I was told by a Dr.

this has happened to me before.  i think as long as it's not in "large amounts" it's fine!  could be IBS.

Sounds like IBS. I would not consult a physician unless it persisted for a while.

Agree with what everyone is saying, very IBS like which can accomodate itself with Anxiety unfortantly.
