bowel movement in my sleep

I have experience having a bowel movement in my sleep maybe 5-6 times this year! I don't know why. What could possible be the cause of this nasty, embarrassing, smelly problem?  My husband nor I am to thrilled about it.  I always forget to mention it when I go to the doctor.

Ironically I have always had problems with constipation.  I have hypertension but thats the only thing I have ever been diagnosed with. O I havve had gastric ulcer as well.

Have you had a back or neck injury?  Sometimes that can cause it. Need more details of your general health condition.
