Hi and thanks for the query,
It is important to know if you have a chronic disease or not, especially diabetes. Family history of cancer of the colon is also important. It is not rare to find such patients present as such.
Any recent change of environment or diet is important. Some people might not tolerate certain foods and have changes in the consistency of their stools. A proper clinical review is needed. A stool examination and culture, abdominal ultrasound and a colonoscopy, guided by your doctor's clinical judgement would give us a good idea of what is going on. Thanks and kind regards
