Hello! She might be suffering from only stool incontinence as you are mentioning because it can also lead to increase stool frequency, also as you havent mentioned about any alaram features. However if all the above mentioned test are normal then what can be tried is antisecretory agent like loperamide or racedrotil. Continuing with Rifaximin or may be a course of probiotic may be helpfull. If not relieved then take opinion of surgeon for stool incontinence. keepin touch
