Hello,

This would not be related to the change in diet and would be considered coincidental; however, it is very important for you to make an appointment with a colorectal specialist or gastroenterologist (stomach specialist) as soon as possible for an exam and accurate diagnosis.

You may have an anal fissure, hemorrohoid, polyp or other more serious medical condition.

Here is some info, let me know if you have any further questions:
