“Bowel problem?”
I have been only having liquid diarrhea bowel movements for 3 weeks. No solid feces has been coming out. Pretty miserable.

Go see a GI specialist.
This diarrhea is on the cusp between an acute and chronic condition. Use imodium to slow it down. If it continues for another week then it is considered chronic and you should seek an opinion from a PCP or GI doctor.
Yes you have a G.I. problem that needs to be evaluated by your physician. Liquid diarrhea or liquid bowel movements without having any solid bowel movements is not of the norm. Also you’re going to need to give your physician or provider further detail history regard to places you’ve traveled foods that you’re eating any changes in your diet and such. Best of luck and be well
