Subject: History of mucusy, loose stools (mucusy???)
Okay. I know the difference between mucus (n) and mucous (adj.), but I'm not sure if mucusy is a word. My spell check accepts it, but I can't find it in a medical dictionary. If not, any advice on how to recast this sentence? Thanks!
For many years she has had mucusy, loose stools.
