Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Prolonged diarrhea which last more than four to six weeks usually is due to an underlying gastrointestinal disease.
The most common causes are diseases that cause inflammation and malabsorption of food.
I would recommend you to do a stool test and anot endoscopy.
Meanwhile, I recommend taking daily probiotics and drinking liquids.
