Seeking Guidance
I wanted to ask for your suggestion regarding my mother’s health. She has been experiencing loose motion for the past 3 months. Whenever she takes medicine, it gets better for a couple of days, but if she eats something that takes time to digest, it starts again.
She is also diabetic and has thyroid issues. If you could please advise what might help in this situation or what kind of treatment we should explore, I would be really grateful.
Thank you in advance.
