If this represent a change in his habits, he should certainly have it checked. Are there are additional symptoms besides frequent bowel movements?
Such change and such symptoms could be indicating IBS but it could also mean thryoid gland disorder. Now, the diagnosis would depend on the additional symptoms and possibly tests.
If this is something transient, it doesn't have to mean anything, he may have been just eating more fibers or something. It would be best though to see a doc if this represents a problem.
