What Could Watery Diarrhea And Constipation Suggest?

I have a history of IBS but haven t been bothered in years, it s back! Bouts of watery diarrhea & constipation. Some times my bowel movement has food in it that I haven t eaten for up to a month. Peas, corn, peanuts, etc... Normally , I have at least one bowel movement a day. Two is not unusual. When constipated, it s a couple or three days before any fiber, stool softener move anything. Do these sound like reasons to find a gastro doc? Thanks!
