i'll have to disagree on one point. many people with ibs have a fair amount of mucous. even when i'm doing the best (so far), i still have some small amount. for me, mucous is the single most ditressing symptom, but it's actually nothing to be all that concerned about, as it's so common and basically harmless. 'just' gross & scary.
I agree.. especially about the gross and scary part! 
I think that if you have already gone through the tests and stuff and ruled out everything else, then it is just a symptom you'll have to control through the diet and medications and everything...
I do maintain, though, that if you HAVEN'T been tested for other things and you are having that much pain and mucous together, you must insist on tests.
Cheers!

well right, that's why i said to get more assertive with the doc - to get to bottom of this via tests, etc. re: pain, (more than mucous, imo).
