Physical activity is essential for proper bowel activity. If you go for a half hour walk every day then you will have proper bowel movements.
But it is not a one time treatment. It is a question of habit

Since it looks like mild infection of colon and not ibd may be due to normal flora infection or dietary changes or any temporary irritation.
Mostly it won't change to ibd..
Treatment:
Drink plenty of water(2-3litre) per day
Increase fruits,vegetables,whole grains in your diet
Avoid spicy food or junk food
Do regular exercise
