I’ve very recently had an 2 episodes of diarrhoea (3 weeks apart).that came on with no warning. It was very strange as each time I had no stomach pains/cramps at all. Luckily, I was at home as it would have been extremely embarrassing. I’ve also recently been diagnosed with spinal cord compression and degenerative cervical myelopathy- despite never having had neck or back pain- and will probably have to have spinal surgery. Bowel changes can be a symptom of this condition which is apparently common, particularly in older people, so please get checked out by your GP.
