How Can Chronic Diarrhea Be Treated?

i have had diarrhea for 1 week or 2, with bowl movements 4 to 8 times a day. it doesn t feel like colitis, which i had for 1-2 decades, but which was cured a decade ago. i do have good health insurance, but it s just so much trouble to go see a doctor, what with the registration, long wait and so forth. what should i do?
