Long time diarrhea after colonoscopy

I had a Colonoscopy in March.  I was told it was normal.  I have had diarrhea every since.  It literally sounds like I am peeing when I have a bowel movement.  I know this is not normal but doctors do not seem to be concerned.  What is wrong with me and how do I get back to normal?

I replied to this once.  I don't know why my reply is not here.  No, I was not having any symptoms prior to the colonoscopy.  They did it because my blood results have been abnormal for over a year now.  My overall white blood cell count is normal but the lymphocytes are high when they should be low and my neurophils  are low when they should be high.  

I was sent back to the hematologist/oncologist because I had idiopathic Polycythemia from 2003-2006 when I lived in New Mexico.  It disappeared as mysteriously as it came when I left New Mexico.  My Oncologist decided that it would be too weird that I would get a white blood cell cancer after previously having had a red one.  So she thought I must have Polycythemia again and sent me for the colonoscopy and a stomach scope looking for internal bleeding since I don't have a high red blood cell count and have no symptoms of Polycythemia this time.  No internal bleeding was found.

Sorilea, was the colonoscopy done because you were having problems prior to that time? If so, what symptoms were you having?
