Loose stools after restarting MJ: side effect or something else?

Hi I have been off MJ for two weeks so I could eat while out with my kids over Easter. I have been back on for two weeks and I'm still on a low does of 5mg. I'm a year into MJ now.

Before I started MJ I occasionally had this thing where I would immediately need the loo after eating. It has started up again but getting for frequent.

It's only after my evening meal. Starts with 30 mi uses after finishing eating. Gurgling, gas, no pain. Then lots of gas and tmi orangey diarrhea. This goes on for a few hours but there's no pain at all. I thought it was ice cream. But it's anything fatty. But also some normal meals. I am wondering now if it's bile salt malabsorbtion?

I'm going to do a econsilt with the gp. But I'm wondering if it is the MJ and should I have a lo ger break? But it started pre MJ. It's only recently got worse

I don't know really but are you sure you're not lactose intolerant?

Lactose intolerance was what I originally suspected last week or so ago. But I've had two more episodes with no ice cream or dairy beyond my normal cups of tea.

Last night I just knew dinner would make me ill. I was scared to eat lunch today. Got bloods and stool samples from the gp today. I do worry this might be the end of my MJ journey if it's nothing is found. But this is getting worse.
