Frequent BM/colitis

Ill start by saying my father has difficult to treat Ulcerative Colitis and uses Remicade.
I often have 5-8 BM a day, often with a bit of mucus and usually very soft. I also experience a lot of gas that does not typically smell bad. I don't have much abdominal pain or cramping, and do not find visible blood in my stool. I find that these symptoms are oftentimes worsened by my period. I also sometimes feel like I don't feel "done" with the BM. Like I can't completely empty?
Does this sound like something to be worried about, or is this sounding more like a dietary issue? I eat decently (better than many).
