Bowel: Sounds like it's. Increase fiber in diet and see if that helps.

No: Don't be worried. Just go to your doctor (primary care) and let them know about it. They will determine initial testing or dietary changes, if necessary, and follow up. But don't worry about it. Life is too short to worry about things. Start a diet diary and let your doctor know about it. Also track the frequency and consistency of stool.
