Well it is new symptom for you, no way for us to tell if it is IBS or not... and so I would urge you to ask your Dr. It is always good to get new symptoms checked out.

While it is a new symptom, passing mucus is very common in IBS.Mucus is a non specific response and much of the "irritable" in IBS can be more than enough to increase mucus production.
