Any change in your stools/color/habits should be checked out. Especially if it's persistent and not just a one time thing.
I'd still advise going to the Dr., telling him about the change...more than likely they'll take a little stool sample and do something that's called a "Hemoccult" test. They can tell within seconds if there is blood in your stool.
