Could Taking Probiotics Be The Cause If Fecal Incontinence?

I wake up and have had loose watery bowel leakage. It has happened approx. 3-4 times in the last 3-4 months. I went to see my Gastrolagist last month and he started me taking a probotic every day. This is the first time this has happened since then, approx. 3-5 weeks since I went to see them. What should I do? I'm very scared.
Thank you for your help.

Hi

It's unlikely the probiotics caused the problem. You may have irritable bowel syndrome or an H pylori stomach infection and you need screening for both
