Mucous colitis is a misused term for the condition, currently known as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), with mucus appearing in the stool, but no organic change in the colon (no colitis) or anywhere in the gut. Other terms used are spastic colon, spastic colitis, and nervous colon syndrome.

Beside mucus in the stool, other symptoms include vague stomach pains, alternating diarrhea and constipation, bloating.
