Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. With minor diarrhea and normal colonoscopy and endoscopy, i would say there is nothing to worry about. Just take supportive and symptomatic measures . Use BRAT diet (Banana , rice, applesauce and toast) , pomegranate juices, green tea, peppermint and yogurt. Take imodium, take some pepto . Supportive home remedies and avoiding trigger foods like coffee, spices, fatty foods, dairy products etc should be avoided. I am sure it wil help.

Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
