See ur doctor: Change in bowel habits common, but shouldn't linger months. Common causes: lactose intolerance (from cow milk and products), alcohol/caffeine, artificial sweeteners, food allergies (even without hives), and many medications. But other causes e.g. viral/parasite (like Giardia), irritable or inflammatory bowel, pancreas insufficiency etc. Should see MD - esp. sooner if blood, fever, pain, nausea etc
