why have i had diarrhea for 4months

So it's been about 4 months with me haveing this annoying Diahhrea, about a month ago i handed in my stool sample which had the all clear. I didn't go to the doctors after that as i knew i had to have a blood test and i have the biggest phobia of needles ..eeek. so i was hopeing it would get better and decided to try Immodium which did work but only for 2 days. I decided to go back when my diahhrea got worse it became so lose it was like water and very slimey,and now everytime i ate my stomache hurt with an achey feeling,so i went back to my doctor and she asked the normal questions eg; if i have any rashes,pass wind, get pains,been vomiting etc she then said i'd have to have blood tests done and whilst waiting for that she put me on colofac 135mg which hasn't helped i don't go toilet as much but it's still loose and now when i eat i feel very funny like i may faint and the pain in my abdoment is worse.....i've had my blood tests and i need to speak to the doctor on monday which is tomorrow to see what the results were.does anybody know what it maybe as i've been doctors loads about this...i know it maybe celiac diseas

Hello, maybe you have chemical poisoning because that is what happened to me and sure enough the doctors kept telling me I was ok.. You see depleted uranium is almost like the AIDS virus because it has ninja qualities to devastating damages... GOD BLESS AT GOD SPEED

i've been to the doctor today first off i must say that my normal doctor is Dr.Rance but as she is away untill monday i had to see my other doctor called Dr.Brown. Ok so some...yes some of my tests results are back in..my iron was low so i am now on Ferrous Gluconate 300mg tablets. also my blood count was not correct i can not give you figure as i'm not all that sure what they are as you can tell i don't know much about medicine or medical names for things. anyways there was also another result which showed up as abornal and whatever that is has made Dr.Brown see my original Doctor who started this 'case' to send me to a specialist and have tests done like Colonoscopy to check things like chrons disease and other inflammorty. He said there is deffinetly something inside of me that's happening...whatever that means he spoke to me in jibberish talk which i didn't understand but as usual i never ask for some reason.. so i'm seeing my Doctor on tuesday,to start  seeing a specialist also i am no lnoger takeing colofac as it made me worse and it gave me sevear pain in my abdomen and whenever i ate i felt like i was going to faint...i'm not a Dr as you can all tell by now lol but by my own research that i have looked up on the internet about chron's disease i believe it maybe that as i read the symptons of chrons which is weight loss,abdomen pain,slimey soil,loss of apertite,diahhroea and a crack in the skin near the entrance of my anus. If anyone read's this do you also think i have chrons or am i being silly i'm sorry for my lack of knowledge of medical words and i know haven't given much information

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Chronic diarrhea can be due to parasitic infestations—ruled out in your case.  Other causes are irritable bowel syndrome, coelic disease, crohn’s disease, malabsorption syndromes, pancreatic diseases, diabetes, hyperthyroidism etc. Since you have had the problem for last four months you would have lost weight too.
Hope this helps. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
