Stool varies: The lack of variation is rather uncommon and most people would be in more than 2 bristol categories every week with 3 t0 20% of US pop having irritable bowel. Change in hydration from weather or infection WILL change stool category; timing and size of meal may also. Blood from a visible hemorrhoid is-what-it-is, otherwise blood MIGHT be a reason for exam.
