Experiencing changes in bowel habits such as multiple bowel movements a day, mucus in stools, and accompanying symptoms like weight loss and frequent urination require prompt attention. Notably, these signs could indicate an underlying condition that might need more than just ayurvedic approach. Nonetheless, I can provide some initial strategies within Ayurveda to potentially aid until you seek further medical evaluation.

Ayurvedic perspective: Such symptoms could suggest an imbalance in your Pitta and Vata doshas. The mucus in the stool particularly points to an issue with Agni (digestive fire), possibly indicating a condition like grahani or even an excess of ama (toxins) in the body.

Dietary changes should be your first line of approach: Focus on easily digestible, warm foods. Opt for kichari, which is a combination of moong dal and rice, as it is gentle on the stomach. Avoid spicy, sour, and heavy foods that may irritate the gut further.

Herbal remedies: Triphala can be beneficial due to its balancing effect on all three doshas and can help improve digestion. Take half a teaspoon with lukewarm water before bed. One could also consider taking Bilva (Bael fruit) as its known to help with digestive issues; it may be consumed as a powdered form.

However, considering your age and the significant symptoms like weight loss and frequent urination, it is imperative to seek thorough check-up with a healthcare provider to rule out conditions that might need immediate medical intervention. These symptoms should not be delayed in assessing by a competent health professional. An integrated approach with contemporary medical diagnostics and treatments should be considered alongside any Ayurvedic practices.

Frequent stools accompanied by mucous discharge, especially at your age, needs careful consideration. This could be a sign of an imbalance in your Vata and Pitta doshas affecting your digestive system. The weight loss and thinning of legs further indicate a possible weakening of your dhatus, or bodily tissues, which could relate to an impaired agni, or digestive fire.

It’s important to first ensure that there’s no more serious underlying condition. Please consult a healthcare professional to rule out concerns like infections or other serious digestive issues, as these can rapidly affect overall well-being.

From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, you may benefit from certain dietary and lifestyle adjustments. Begin by incorporating warm, easily digestible foods like kichadi (a mix of rice and lentils) to soothe your digestive system. You should avoid cold, raw foods as they can aggravate Vata. Ginger tea can be beneficial; having a cup in the morning can help stimulate your agni.

For herbal remedies, consider consuming a decoction made from bilva (bael) leaves, which can help pacify the Vata and stabilize bowel movements. Taking a teaspoon of triphala powder with warm water in the evening may also help regulate bowel activities and encourage gentle detoxification.

Consistency is key here. Any herbal regimen should be sustained for a few weeks to observe results, but it’s crucial not to delay checking with your doctor for the mucous issue and consequent symptoms like weight loss and frequent urination. Avoid self-medicating, especially with multiple supplements or herbs simultaneously, as these could affect your body in unpredictable ways.
