6. Changing your bowel habits constantly is not normal
Depending on what we eat, we may sometimes go to the bathroom more often or stop going altogether for a while. Diarrhea is also a common problem in some countries. But constantly alternating between diarrhea and constipation is not normal, and it should be evaluated.
Different gastrointestinal diseases may lead to constant changes in bowel habits. For example, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can make you alternate between diarrhea and constipation. But this is also a sign of colon cancer, and only a doctor can evaluate the difference, sometimes using colonoscopy and other diagnostic procedures.
