When i try to have a bowel movement only mucus comes out i'm constipated and have ibs what should i do?

Sounds like an impac: Tion. Get some glycerine suppositories and or fleet mineral oil enemas and follow the directions. Stay on liquid diet until the constipation has cleared, then be sure to drink at least 80-100 oz of caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily to avoid a recurrence.
