If this has become chronic over several weeks or months, it might be advisable to seek out a gastroenterologist. Many problems could be the answer, and you might explore possible Celiac Disease, as one example. Treatment is available, even for irritable bowel syndrome, so avail yourself of help.

Your doc will be best to approach first as a detailed history, review of current and previously diagnosed conditions, current meds and supplements and a focused exam will be needed. Keep a log also with type of food/ drinks ingested and following symptoms/ BM’s frequency and consistency . In case a specialist is needed, your doc will be able to coordinate locally.

Agree with Dr. Pacinicuc and Mechanic. You could try modifying your diet. Visit this site for information about diet: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/fodmap-diet-what-you-need-to-know
