“Irregular bowel movements?”
For just over a month and a half now, I have been having running bowel movements 4 to 6 times a day. The color ranges from greenish-gray to yellow orange-like. I don't feel sick I have as of late been wanting to take naps which isn't like me.

This meets the definition for a chronic diarrhea, of which there are many causes and a work up would be needed to make a diagnosis to explain the diarrhea. The stool color usually doesn't help distinguish any particular etiology. I suggest seeing a GI specialist to get an evaluation to determine what testing should be done to work this up.
Start with a visit to your primary care doctor for a thorough evaluation.
