Excessive gas and loose stool

I have been having bright red and mucus in my stool as well as excessive gas and feeling like having to empty my bowels a few times a day! My stool does not look healthy either! What could it be? I have been having this problem for a few weeks now and have tried hemorrhoid suppositories but they haven't seemed to work much!
