Hello,
Bloating, abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea are due to IBS which has already been diagnosed. Presence of red and black specks in stool can be due gastrointestinal bleeding. I suggest you to get stool test for occult blood.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
