See your doctor: You need to see your primary care doctor to evaluate this. Six weeks of diarrhea is not normal. It could be caused by any number of things, including bacterial infections or parasites. Also, drink Gator Aid one glass 3 x daily x 7 days since you can become dehydrated and have electrolyte abnormalities with diarrhea.
