Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted here in stool here you are feeling stickiness....
So here it will probably mucus in stool.
Small amount of mucus present normally....

If it is in excess amount then cause searched for like .....
-steatorrhea
-malabsorption syndrome
-excess fatty food
-indigestion
-gastroenteritis.....

Get your stool examined to look for parasites and pus cells if present...
Accordingly anthelmatic drug like albendazole and antibiotic might need.

Fatty food taken less....
Fruits more like....
-avocados rich in fiber and provide good digestive health
-blueberries rich in fiber and vitamin c...so good one...
Take green leafy veg more....
Water taken more.....

Avoid smoking and stress.....
Avoid alcohol ....

If detailed investigation needed then USG or endoscopy might done if no improvement...
Take care.....
