Bowel problems / changes in bowel habit These are very common and often a source of misery for people. While an upset bowel can happen to anyone at any time, Gastroenterologists can often help find out the cause and treat chronic bowel problems such as constipation, diarrhoea or an erratic bowel habit. Often the problem is one of IBS but there are many other causes. A persistent change in bowel habit to one that is looser than usual, for no obvious reason, is a recognised symptom of possible bowel cancer and should be investigated, especially in people over the age of 40.
