What Causes Bowel Movement While Sleeping

I had a very small soft bowel movement while sleeping last night. I m a 36 year old female, have never had children, and have well-controlled Type 1 Diabetes with no complications. I am currently under a great deal of stress and have had some stomach pain for the last few days which I assumed was related to anxiety. Should I assume this is anxiety related? Take a probiotic and wait and see? Or go straight to the doctor?
