Hello! Thanks for putting your query in XXXXXXX I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

It don't think there is anything to worry. Continue with high fibre diet and probiotics. Also take psyllium fibres with curd at night. It may be simply due to disturbance in microflora of gut which will be improved with probiotics

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
