Need a Colonoscopy: A change in bowel habits as you are describing is an indication for a Colonoscopy. Before a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be conclusively made, other causes must be ruled out, most importantly, colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohns Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. F/U with your Proctologist for a Colonoscopy.
