Brief Answer:
Needs to be investigated

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I would like to suggest the following tests-
Ammonia,Ultrasound abdomen (CT abdomen is preferred to ultrasound, but is much more expensive), Stool routine.
Colonoscopy/TSH after report of the scan, if the above reports are normal.
I would suggest taking a tablet of Tinidazole after the stool samples are given.
I should also tell you that for many people, this is normal.
So if you do not have a problem, you should not worry.
Let me know the reports.
