Hi Lisa,

Yes, mucus is very common with MC, especially in the initial stages or during a flare. Generally, it's a sign of inflammation, which is the hallmark of MC. It should improve as your gut calms down.

Love,

Polly

Patience Lisa,

After 10+ years I still have it. Just a part of the disease.
