I'm From Dublin, Ireland Back in November 2010, I noticed some changes to my bowel habits. Before this, my bowel motions were pretty much once a day, normal motions, but on November 5th I started to get looser motions, which became more frequent, at the start I thought this was absolutely nothing to worry about, and within 2 weeks it sort of returned to normal.
