Recent change of BM?: if you over 50 y you need colonoscopy as prevention. If you younger and had recent changes of BM - it could be dietary, or other disorder os IBS... but review first your eating habits. Avoid processed food, ad more fresh produce and Yogurt, Kefir, almonds, fish,... water. Avoid excess alcohol and try to exercise more. if any blood , mucous in stool - see MD promptly. Have Hemoccult test .
