What does it mean when i have immensely frequent bowel movements which either contain watery diarrhea or a clear/white-ish foam-like substance?

Depends : On how long you have it and if there is blood in it and other accompanying symptoms. Viral gastroenteritis is usually self limited and last a day or couple. Rehydration is important. Seek help if symptoms persist

Infection - colitis.: That sounds like an infection primarily. Could also be an inflammatory condition like Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis, but I'd think of a bacterial infection of the large intestines first. You need some testing right away. Please see a doctor or get to an Emergency Room for an exam, blood and stool testing and CT scan of the abdomen.
