I feel for you. It seems like when I have a major flare up of my IBS the same thing happens to me. It definitly is intensified with a person with IBS. I can catch the smallest tummy bug and get it two fold unlike the normal person who gets it and is done in 24-48hrs.
Now I do have some questions for you. Were you taking any antibiotics prior to the cipro and flagyl? Sounds really gross but did your D or mucousy D smell really foul kinda like a barnyard? Did they do a c-diff test?(which is a stool sample type test). I had c-diff and it sounds similiar to your symptoms however the initial days before they discovered it I had TERRIBLE abdominal pains. I'm talking toe curling!!! I can't remember if they continued but they must not have because as soon as I started on the antibiotic(Vancomycin)I felt much better. I too tried Flagyl and it worked for the duration but as soon as I stopped it, I got the mucousy D back again. Oh and that Flagyl gave me terrible thrush in my mouth. Did you get that from it?!?!?
I'm sure when you see the GI doc he will recommend a colonoscopy. I had one after my bout and it showed some inflammation which they initially thought was Ulcerative Colitis but the biopsy came back negative for it so who knows.
I hope you are feeling better soon. Just keep eating lightly and it will be back to normal real soon
