I Have Had Diarrhea For About 3 Weeks Now On

I have had diarrhea for about 3 weeks now on an off. I went to an Urgent Care, had a stool test and they determined I had a virus. I went on antibiotics for one week and the diarrhea stopped, then a few days later, started again. One BIG issue is several times I was awoken by lose bowels in the middle of the night where I had an accident in bed. It’s not normal to not be able to control your bowels? I called my doctor, he prescribed 2 medications, one for the diarrhea and one for my stomach grumblings. I started them Tuesday and Wednesday I had no diarrhea until early this morning where I had another accident in bed. I’m freaking out about this. My doctor said he would refer me to a gastrointestinal doctor when I report back to him on Friday. What could be the issue? I’m never sick and I’m starting to lose weight and feel really tired.
