Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Loss of disc height indicates some kind of age related wear and of your intervertebral discs. You can go for an MRI scan for better evaluation. Stool in colon is of no clinical significance and is a normal finding and no treatment is required.
Wishing you good health.
