I've had diarrhea for a month. for 2 days it has been especially watery & now there's mild pain in my stomach. doc said it was ibs 2 weeks ago. help?!

You need to see: Either a colorectal surgeon or GI doctor, check for bacteria or parasites in your stool and may need a colonoscopy. A month is too long to ignore. Something more serious could be the cause. Ibs should only be diagnosed when all other causes have been ruled out with appropriate testing.
