Look into the 4R gut healing program -- remove, replenish, reinnoculate, repair. The first phase requires that you know what pathogen you have using stool testing in most cases. My favorite to identify pathogens is the 401H from BioHealth Diagnostics.

Assuming you're getting enough water soluble fiber (20-30 grams a day) and get plenty of exercise, the things above could well contribute. Another possible cause is hypothyroidism. If you feel cold, have dry skin, trouble losing weight or unexplained weight gain, a visit to the doctor may be in order.
