hello Missy
I think your IBS sometimes irritates your intestine causing it to release small amount of blood which disintegrates to give rise to brown colores stools with mucus.
You are advised to collect the specimen and have a occult blood test of your stool to confirm my findings.
Please do reply back with test reports.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it is I.B.S, but it appears that there is an amoebic colitis, as well. It usually presents as an alternative constipation and diarrhea in some people.
I prescribe to my patient with with such symptoms ofloxacin, ornidazole, ranitidine,and amikacin 500mg injection daily.
Avoid taking more of spices, junk foods, and oily foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
