Gastroenterologist Questions Bowel Movements

Are there any natural home remedies to treat odd bowel movements?

I am a 32 year old man. While I have been on my usual diet, my bowel movements have been irregular for the last one week. I am under tremendous stress at work, could that be the reason behind my irregular bowel movements? Are there any natural home remedies to treat this?

It's probably the stress, which alters bowel habits via the brain-gut axis. Reduce stress first and the bowels should get better. If not, then see a PCP or GI doc.
Stress can cause gastrointestinal symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I suggest you see a Gastroenterologist to rule out other possibilities.
