Have Jelly-like Bowel Movements. Taken Penicillin. Abdominal Cramps. Need For Concern?

Just today I have been having jelly-like bowl movements before and after a regular bowl movement. I feel like I need to go and its just small light brown clumps that come out that smell gross. And I have gone 3 or 4 times through out the day. No blood. I was on an antibiotic about two months ago ( penicillin ). I am a little bit gassy and the other day I had bad cramps in my lower abdomen . Just once that day. Should I be concerned?
