Get checked: A change in bowels should be checked if they don't normalize with easy treatment. Multiple possible explanations exist. I would first increase your dietary fiber to 30 grams daily along with 60-70 oz of water daily . Fiber one cereal is a nice option to increase your fiber. A colonoscopy is suggested to rule out any significant problem within the colon
