Many years ago my mom had intestine infection which later on after proper diagnosis was cured. After that she rarely had loose motions However on last Tuesday she had severe loose motions. We consulted Geastro and he advised to take Tufpro oral suspension and Rifagut for infection. After having it for one week she hasn't recovered fully. Doctor has advised for colonscopy.

Altered bowel habit in elderly may be due to something which is more than just an infection. Colonoscopy helps in finding it out or ruling it out. Stool exam if positive for occult blood, then the full colonoscopy is a must.
