Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea

Hi, I am A 48 year old female that has been experiencing diarrhea like symptoms for the past month. It came on suddenly and has not seemed to stop. Some days it am going to the bathroom like 5-10 a day with just small amounts of diarrhea and some days nine at all. The symptoms seem to come on quickly, with a strong urge to go. When I do get to the bathroom, I have small amounts of gas and then very liquid like movement. I have not taken any antibiotics in over a month but did need to take a dose for a severe bladder infection while on vacation . I plan a visit to a gastro doc as soon as I can get in. Can you advise?
