Strange GI Symptoms, can anyone explain?

Hi all, 

Sorry if this is gross, or in the wrong forum, but I'm very concerned and would really appreciate if someone could help me.

For the past month or two, I've been experiencing a strange bowel movement that has me concerned. When it 'hits', it feels like I'm going to have diarrhea. I go to the restroom, and there's a lot of pressure, and then a huge, loud, explosion of gas. With it, there is nothing but a small, string-like, clearish-yellowish... thing? I will have this several times in a day, and it will go away after I have a normal bowel movement. 

Can anyone explain what this might be, if this is an IBS symptom, if this may be something serious? I am planning to see a nutritionist and a gastroenterologist in the new year, and I have been tested for food allergies. 

If it is not something serious, does anyone know how to fix it?

Could it be possible you have worms ?

Just a thought. I would advise you try and keep one and show it to your GP. Make an appointment and explain the wind etc

IT could be mucus. I get a lot of clear mucus in my poo and occasionally just mucus just like you describe

Do you also have stomach pain that moves about? Passing mucus and having lots of gas are also IBS symptoms. Have you pinpointed any food sensitivities.
