I have been diagnosed with ibs. lately, i have been having episodes and after i have puss discharge the next time i use bathroom. is that normal?

Irritable bowel syn: No. You shouldn't have pus with irritable bowel syndrome. With IBS you have alternating constipation and diarrhea, and can certainly have some discomfort. I would not expect pus at all. Please see a doctor for evaluation.

IBS: Should not give you "puss" under any circumstances. Now you may pass some mucous that is yellowish and slimy usually from hemorrhoid irritation. See my other answers on how best to manage IBS symptoms. IF you are still concerned about the "puss", see a Colorectal surgeon or gastroenterologist to get a thorough exam and make sure there is not some other process going on to cause your symptoms
