Hello,
The situation you described might be normal for you, but I would also think about possible parasitic infection with your recent travel. I would suggest seeing a doctor to possibly get your stool checked, or your doctor may just want to treat you without testing in case of infection. The treatment typically only takes a few days to clear your body of any parasites.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Aaron Branch,
General & Family Physician
