What Is The Reason For Immediate Change From Constipation To Watery Bowel Movements?

immediate change from chronic constipation to watery bowel movement almost 2 ys ago. Much gas as well. 2-3 movements within 1/2 hour is the usual for the day - usually in the morning. Metamucil helps to bulk up the stools, but it seems I have to take more & more Metamucil. I have not lost weight. I do not feel ill. Use to be thick spaghetti sauce style bowels, use to see flecks of food, but now just plain brown thin gravy.
