I've had Irritable Bowel Syndrome for 14 yrs (diagnosed at 14) Recently in the past 6-12mths i've had increasing stomach pain/nausea. More recently in the past 2 months i've rarely had a bowel movement (i'm down to once a wk) That is highly unusual as i'm known to have many a day from the IBS. I genenrally cannot go somewhere without a bathroom being available at anytime, yet more recently its been when the time hits, I need to be on the toilet right then or there or there will be an "accident" These bowel movements i'm having now suddenly hit with extreme cramping followed by like an hr long session of being on the toilet, usually ending with a small muscousy amount of pink tinged blood. My dr seems to blame everything on IBS and tells me I just need to learn to live with it, but i'm at my limit, I just can't take this feeling anymore.
Please help with any advice, and sorry if I was too blunt in detail.

As your doctor to test you for Celiac disease. I believe it's becoming diagnosed more and more as doctors find out more about it. It sounds like maybe you had some sort of mild infection previously (?) with the IBS. Celiac, which is an autoimmune disease wherein gluten (the protein in wheat and a number of other grains) destroys the villi in the small intestine. Are you losing weight at all? That would also indicate a lack of digesting your food.
Clearly something is happening. If your doctor will not investigate other options please find another doctor who will take you seriously. This is NOT normal and you should not have to suffer.
