Suggest Remedy For Loose Stools

My stools have had been lose for the past 3 week; not watery, but thick gravy type. I am taking Becelac in the nights for these days. But for last couple of days, I am feeling much itching over the anal part while passing bowels and the quantity of bowels has also come down. Could you kindly guide me on this? Could this be due to worm infection?
