What Causes Stomach Upsets, Unusual Bowel Movements Urging With Mucus?

My stomach is upset and I keep having to urge to have a bowel movement about every 15 minutes or so. And when I do go to the bathroom, little stringy, tissue-like clumps (almost looks like skin) come out and there is a little slimy mucus as well. Not a lot comes out when I go, but it keeps happening. This has happened to me once before a couple of months ago and it lasted for about 2 days and then it didn t come back til now. I have been taking percosets for back pain recently and I was taking them a couple months ago as well but I can t rememeber if it was around the same time this happened to me the last time. Could that be the cause of this? If not, what else could it be?
