For two weeks i've had intermittent weakness, sluggishness, and loose bowels; feel good for a day , then bad again?

May need testing: Lots of possibilities. Basic labs can help to look for a cause. (low vit d?) also other causes like irritable bowel disease. You should discuss this with your doctor.
