If it helps, I have loose stools sometimes with my IBS. I started off this way, and for many years, and then I went the other way to constipation. These days I am a combo of the two. Anyhoo, I was scanned & bum-cammed (for both) and no nasties.
Fast-tracking doesn't mean you have something like cancer. I've been fast-tracked several times for bowel and gynae issues and I'm fine, so bear this in mind..
It also means that you will have some reassurance in a matter of weeks, so bear this in mind too..
The most logical cause is that your digestive system is taking a hit due to the amount of stress you're under and in time this will settle down but it is necessary to rule things out and when you present to your GP with symptoms like this they have to be thorough - especially when we're over 50. X
