To @part: I posted my comment because I am curious if there are other medical conditions that create this situation I have been experiencing non-stop since mid-January. If it’s not medically significant, I can just move on, but I don’t want this “change in bowel habits” to be a symptom of something significant and ignore it. Hydration is super important to the body. And I try to force myself to drink water all day long, especially when I wake when the body has had nothing for 6-7 hours. Thanks for your input.
