Are Bloating, Gas And Diarrhea Symptoms Of IBS?

For the past two days my lower digestive system has been upset. A lot of gas and my stool is full of mucous and much lighter in color. Do I just have a bit of a bug? Or something serious going on. I feel fine except for the gas and more bowel movements than usual. I am usually on the hard stool constipated side. Always have been.
