My stools are stil very thin and flat and also have very watery stool and mucous covered. i have pain in my lower left stomach. I have also found a fleshy growth near my anus (just above it) and have had anal pain that lasted a day. Iv started taking bulking fibres again and there not helpin with size of my stool. Iv gone to my docs and hes just saying its ibs the gi told u it was. Please can any1 give me advice

fleshy growth near your anus is hemorrhoid usually happens if you sit too much on toilet for too long.This isn't dangerous , for this I did surgery in February and now there is no pain. Hemorrhoid are usual symptom in patients with IBS

Get a second opinion. Given your symptoms and level of pain it seems like more things should have been ruled out before the doctor landed on IBS. I was diagnosed years ago, but only after I had upper and lower GI series and a sigmoidoscopy to rule out inflammatory bowel, ulcers, and other problems.

Did you see a gatroenterologist or an internist/PCP... I would get a second opinion from an experienced gatroenterologist. Ask around for a respected one in your area.
