Anxiety poop
I generally poop twice a day. However I've noticed that recently I am getting the urge to poop thrice and more. The poop is soft and normal. I feel whenever i get even slightly anxious i feel the urge to defecate. Also, I've recently changed my diet and i include a lot of fibre in my diet. Could it be the reason for the change in pattern?
