Acute constipation?: Change in bowels is a red-flag to doctors that evaluation is needed. You did not specify whether your concern reflects a change in stool texture, altered ease or completeness of elimination, etc. See your physician for evaluation (check of thyroid, hormones, abdominal x-rays, physical).
