Does Diarrhea That Is Not Controlled With Probiotics Or Home Remedy Require Treatment ?
My wife has had problems with diarrhea. We have tried soup, pepto bismol, and tea nothing has worked. We recently started using probiotics and she did have stomach problems. We did see a doctor for stomach infections and her doctor prescribed treatment for that.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Your query is appreciated, passing of stool three to four time in day without loss of water is normal one and may not needs any treatment checking the diarrhea is not the way to treat the condition unless it is the infection, if this is not the infection then it may not needs any treatment, it is the self limiting condition, so need to worry about this, hope this information and advise helps.
