It does sound like IBS although with a little different twist to it really. Also if your actually going everyday, then that is not really c, but you may actually be an alternator.
"Classic IBS" is a disorder of the large intestines, however functional GI disorders can effect aywhere along the the gi tract.
You have had the tests done it seems.
Although symptoms an hour after eating could possible be SIBO. They can test for that, but even then it sounds like IBS and maybe something else going on as well possibly.
What do you do for the pain and what relives it? Does heat relieve it?
I think you pretty much mentioned pain doesn't wake you at night. This correct?
Also do you get heartburn at all?
A common functional gi disorder seen along with a lot of IBSers is functional dyspepsia. This condition like IBS is an upper gi disorder with altered motility, viceral sensation and brain gut axis dysfunction. Basically IBS in the upper gi.
Also you should be drinking more water and find out what Heather says about a fiber that might keep water in the bowels.
The mucus is harmless and nothing to worry about, the bowel sheds cells and in IBS they shed more basically.
Parasites almost always cause d, so you know.
a couple more questions, do you have
"Other symptoms that are not essential but support the diagnosis of IBS:
Abnormal stool frequency (greater than 3 bowel movements/day or less than 3 bowel movements/week);
Abnormal stool form (lumpy/hard or loose/watery stool);
Abnormal stool passage (straining, urgency, or feeling of incomplete evacuation);
Passage of mucus;
Bloating or feeling of abdominal distension."
These symptoms support an IBS diagnoses, but are not part of the criteria.
Last what helps you out the most, any treatments that you do or have done help at all?
