Watery diarrhea once or twice a week

Having diarrhea on weekly or bi weekly basis for about two half months , when I first got it I was passing stalls that where all shades of brown from pale to medium brown. Colour has now levelled off to a mediumish brown . However I get diarrhea which is watery explosive but will only be once or possibly twice, worst ways 3 times in that day. However I have noticed on days that I have normal stools I sometimes feel that I haven't completely cleared my bowels, if I sit there and persist this will either result in soft stools or diarrhea if anything else comes out. On some days I have a lot of wind , upstairs , downstairs and stomach .

I've had full blood tests twice with nothing showing up, had several stool tests, only one which showed anything out of ordinary was faecal Calprotectin which shows intestinal inflammation which was elevated . Even an abdominal ultra sound showed nothing. My GP has referred me to a GI specialists but my appointment is not till mid January. My GP does not seem worried , that doesn't count for me , I'm scared.

Other symptoms I have are random abdominal and lower chest pains front and back, and a slightly bitter taste in mouth some days. Initially I lost some weight and appetite (some of which was down to anxiety ) however my appetite is good now and I've put back on some of lost weight. I don't tend to pass blood, however on the odd occasion i have I think was down to aggravated haemorrhoids (according to doctor).

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this .

Jim
