How To Alleviate Chronic Diarrhea?

MY 78 YEAR OLD SISTER HAS BEEN HAVING UNRELENTING DIARHEA FOR WEEKS AT A TIME. HER DOCTOR HAS REFERRED HER TO AN ENDROCRONOLOGIST YEARS AGO. NOW SHE IS ONLY SEEING THE PA. HER LAST COLONOSCOPY WAS 6-7 YEARS AGO. I WANT HER TO GO TO ANOTHER DR. DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION. THIS IS BENDING HER LIFE AROUND.
