Changes in stool caliber or shape needs further investigation. Colonic narrowing or a mass (polyp or cancer) needs to be ruled out.
I would suggest a colonoscopy at this point. This can be discussed with your personal physician or gastroenterologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
