Could teething be the reason because he has 3 canines and 2 premolars in just 2 weeks? His pediatrician said it may be the cause if nothing shows in the stool analysis.

It's very likely. Studies have shown evidence of slightly altered immune system defenses during teething which makes children at a higher risk of acquiring infections, mostly viral infections. A viral gastroenteritis may indeed produce stools that are watery and mucoid (contain mucus).
