Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Blockage of colon, chronic watery diarrhea can be due to many a reasons like:
Cancer of colon.
Fecolith impaction.
colitis and so on.
Until colonoscopy is done after 2 weeks as per an appointment go to ER or Urgent care.
Clinical evaluation, examination and investigations like X-ray of abdomen, ultrasonography and tests of stool, blood and urine will help to know the cause.
Even a Ct scan of abdomen may help.
I think you need a Saline-soap enema for clearing the stools.
A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole can help.
Take probiotics.
Avoid the foods and beverages that instigate or enhance the symptoms.
