Just observe this finding for now because you have no other associated symptoms. Please recall if you make any change in your food and cooking habit and if you take any new medication recently. If symptom persists and other symptoms develop such as weight loss, abdominal pain, change of stool structure, then you should see a gastroenterologist directly if possible.

If you have not had unintended weight loss, you can watch and wait. If you lose weight or develop other symptoms, it would be prudent to see a GI specialist.
