A member asked:

Last week was stomach pain/cramps and frequent urgent soft, slimy stools. now it's mostly just the latter. should i be worried w/this sudden change?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bowel change: A change in bowel that does not resolve could be a symptom of something serious such as colon cancer. Your symptoms most likey reflect a gastroenteritis or food intolerance. If your bowels don't return to normal in a few days then see your doctor. Good luck!
