Need more info: Changes in bowel habits are common. Stress, diet changes, etc. can make your bowel habits change. However, the bloating can be uncomfortable. There are some over the counter gas medications that some find relief in, but also bloating could be a sign of food intolerance, and can contribute to excess gas. Would need more info as to whether this is diarrhea or just softer stools.

Irritable bowel: This is characteristic of irritable bowel syndrome and/or very active gastrocolic reflex. Hot coffee or tea, anxiety, rushing or stress aggravate the process. If this becomes a very troublesome problem, medication like bentyl or donnatal can be taken a half hour before breakfast and prevent this reaction. A gastroenterologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you about this situation.
