Change in bowel movements, any advice appreciated
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have recently noticed a change in my bowel movements that has lasted for approx 2 weeks. The changes are as follows:
Increase in number of movements approx 3-4 per day from 1 previously.
Wet inconsistent light brown stool similar to diarrhea with a vial smell.
As of today I have passed what appear to be stones that are light brown and almost perfectly round about 1cm in diameter.
I am of slim build exercise regularly and eat a fairly healthy diet so don't think weight or diet is a contributing factor.
Any advice on whether I should get this checked or what is likely to be causing it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi james42003
You may have irritable bowel syndrome....you don't mention cramping or pain with alternating stools...so might not be IBS..keep a food diary and check what foods may be causing your changeable bowel movements...if it continues go see your doc...best wishes..
