Have IBS Problem. Mucus Secretes From Anus, Relief With Imodium. Anal Muscles Weak. Change In Diet Not Helping

I'm a 65 year old male. I've had IBS for many years. I don't have much of a window when I have the urge for a BM. I also have mucous secreting from my anus. I take Imodium daily, which helps some, but I still have problems. I've had to cancel many activities because of this problem. Sepage is also a problem because of very weak anal muscles. I've tried different diets, but nothing seems to help. I would appreciate your input.
