Hello
She needs a stool sample for cultures since she may have a bacterial enteritis which would respond to a course of antibiotics.
She also needs colonoscopy to look for inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis.
Finally, this could be irritable bowel syndrome which would respond to medications like Bentyl
