What Does Recurrent Diarrhea Indicate?

I have had loose bowel movements on and off for about a month At first very watery and black like coffee grounds. now they are normal but a lot of water. I recently had some blood tests through the VA and they said my white cell count was up and they wanted me to see a blood doctor. I am thinking I have an infection my body hasen t cleared up.
