Hi,
If no bowel control is referred to loose stools, then, it could be partially related to antibiotic use in hospital. Antibiotics could have damaged the normal balance of normal flora leading to bowel problems.
They can be treated with nystating thrice daily (tablets) and probiotics.
You can also check the feces for ova/parasites, and perform coproculture.
Hope it helped!
