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.
