I posted this reply to a member with a kitten diarrhea issue. It's a fix that worked so well for me I want to share it as widely as possible.
My elderly (15 and 16) cat gang of four shares several potty boxes. I kept finding one watery bloody deposit with no easy way to figure out who it was. I also noticed dry rock hard poops which is a problem of older cats and a sign of constipation. To deal with the constipation I started adding un-flavored psyllium husk to their food. The hard poos became normal as expected but, (SURPRISE), the bloody diarrhea disappeared too. I never figured out which cat had the bleed problem but it is gone for a year now and never happens anymore. The psyllium husk cured both diarrhea and constipation. It normalized both problems and I never fail to add it to their meals. They get about a quarter teaspoon twice a day shared among four cats. I got NOW brand psyllium husk powder from Amazon. It's human grade and I take it myself on occasion. Psyllium can be bought almost anywhere. My first batch was from Walmart but all theirs was flavored. I hated the flavored stuff and the cats rejected it. They don't mind the un-flavored stuff. Please try this very cheap harmless remedy before anything else.
