Just about everybody suffers from an intestinal upset or disturbance at least once in their life. What you've described is simply the digestive process rushing through without adequate water being drawn from the stool & along with gas causing an explosive expelling of the stool.
Whatever caused your stomach to get upset is what caused the rapid passage through your system without the necessary time for the pill to dissolve. (Like eating too much corn-on-the-cob at one sitting, if you understand the comparison).
If rapid passage through your alimentary system happens often enough, yes, definitely talk it over with your doctor. He'll come up with suggestions after asking you some questions. You might not be benefitting from your full dosage otherwise.
