What Causes Growling Stomach Followed By Loose Bowels?

For several weeks I have had growling stomach followed by loose bowel movements that require heavy clean-up. Sometimes bowel leakage. Couple times I thought it was over but it came back so I can say it has been constant. I eat healthy, whole foods, plenty veggies. Very good diet and not too much. In past Ive had brief spells of this but never for this long a duration. I can go about my business but I insert tissues in my bottom in case of leakage. And I know enough NOT to pass gas! Any idea what s going on and should I see my doctor. Am female, 80 and in extraordinary good health.

Looking at your history this could be due to any of following

In my opinion you should immediately consult a Gastroenterologist for detailed check up and colonoscopy

Have plenty of dietary fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables
Avoid fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks
Maintain good hygiene by washing hands with antiseptic soap or solutions before every food and after using rest room
