Hi,
since this started a month ago and apparently out of nowhere, and is still going on, I'm afraid chances are you're going to have to see a doctor. Having diarrhea for this long can be dangerous on its own and can cause even more problems. Have you tried using anything other than pepto to try to stop the diarrhea? Also, did you notice any change in relation which food you eat? What you need to do before you get to the doctor is to make sure you don't dehydrate. Diarrhea will cause you to dehydrate and will disrupt the balance of electrolytes that can have effect on your heart. Also, try using a probiotic supplement regularly, if you haven’t started doing this already. At least probiotics will help you to get your immunity stronger – and they fight bad stomach bacteria that can cause intestinal problems similar to ones you’re going through.
Wish you all the best,
Nicole
