A member asked:

At times i lose control of bowel movement. i can't feel when it happens. not watery, normal consistency. childbirth or vertebrae pinching nerves?

Concerning: This is a concerning symptom the should be evaluated promptly. It could be related to multiple causes but most concerning would be a spinal cord issue. In these cases loss of bladder control is commonly present as well. Have this evaluated soon.
