Brief Answer:
Stool culture, stool parasitic test and colonoscopy needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you should get further evaluated doing a stool culture and stool parasitic test to check if there is a bacterial infection or parasitic infection causing that frequent diarrhoea.
Also other causes may be inflammatory colitis, chrohn or even cancer so a colonoscopy is necessary and even biopsy of colon mucosal lining.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
