Question
“My mother is 70 years old and has been post-surgery for over a year. She has diarrhea three to four times every morning, and she seems completely drained. Are there any good ways to control it? What treatments have been tried and what was the outcome? What can she eat to control the diarrhea?”
Answer
“Based on your description, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of gastrointestinal diseases. I suggest you go to the hospital for a gastroscopy to receive more appropriate treatment. At present, you can consider taking medications that regulate gastrointestinal function. If you experience nausea or vomiting again, pay attention to your diet and opt for light meals. Avoid excessive fat, high sugar, spicy, fried foods, and alcohol, increase the intake of fibrous foods, and drink plenty of water.”
