Can Warfarin adversely affect bowel movements?

Its difficult to prove a correlation and a causal link but it seems to me that after going on Warfarin 6 months ago, my regular pattern of bowel movements has been disrupted, and that the nature and consistency of the movements has changed significantly. I now go more often, and several times a day, when i used to go just once, at the same time each day. I am not prepared at this stage to change from Warfarin.
