For anyone with a "chronic" diarrhea problem, you may want to read this.

My mother was having bi-weekly episodes for 5 years or so, with the frequency increasing to weekly in 2012. She's in her 90s and when things let loose it was no fun for her or anyone within range. Her doctors tried all kinds of medications and they were no help. Now my mother has been on antibiotics for years because of bladder infections. A family friend suggested she try eating a couple of helpings of live culture yogurt; she recommended a Greek brand and mother eats hers with maple syrup. Mother has not had a major episode of diarrhea in the last 9 months. Evidently the antibiotics were interring adversely with her digestive system. Mother's very pleased, and her doctor was quite pleased as well to learn of the success of this alternative treatment.
