Stool Consistency: "regularity" in stool habits is highly variable. What is one person's normal, is another person's cause for concern. Assuming you are having no other signs and symptoms of GI or other abnormality, your pattern may respond to better hydration and increased fiber in the diet. I would not recommend long term use of laxatives. If still concerned, visit a gastroenterologist.

Not a big problem: Most people have been on antibiotics within tue past 2 or 3 years and don't have the optimal balance of "friendly" bacteria in their intestines. Sometimes this can cause mild to moderate GI distress, and sometimes more significant symptoms. A good probiotic, kambucha, or other foods that restore balance in friendly bacteria is very important.
