Keep a diary : Stool characteristics change with what you eat. Mild abdominal cramping due to need to defecate may also change in position as the colon loops around your entire abdomen. In absence of other symptoms such as fever, weight loss, nausea vomiting, severe abd pain, I don't think you need to worry. You could keep a diary of your diet and your bowel habits and see if any foods cause discomfort.
