Hi. Im A 50 Year Old Woman. I Noticed Over

Hi. Im a 50 year old woman. I noticed over the last 3-4 weeks I've had bowel movements between 6-8 times a day even waking during the night to relieve myself. I sometimes have pain when I eat, or don't eat, and have runny mucous that seems to leak out during the night. (I wake up wet in that area). I'm wondering if I have irritable bowel syndrome, as I don't think it's normal to have to go that often. My e-mail address is YYYY@YYYY . I appreciate any light you can shed on this.
