What Can Cause Constipation Along With Abdominal Cramps And Diarrhea?

Hi. I am a 51 year old female; generally in good health. I do have thyroid issues that have been controlled with medicine. However, I am always constipated and have been for as long as I can remember. I have not made any changes in my lifestyle but I have been having painful cramping and then diarrhea after I eat any meal. It's been going on for the last 4 days. This is not how my body usually works... not for years. Could this be a sign of anything?
