Flatulence, Mucus Discharge, Frequent Bowel Movements With Odor. Treatment?

I am a 41 year old female, 5'2" and 120 lbs. For the past few months I have had uncontrollable flatulence with a lot of clear mucous discharge. I have frequent bowel movements, but my stool is not loose; is always small and pellet-like. Any ideas on how I can relieve this, as it is becoming a problem (the discharge is often enough to soil my clothing).
