Hello,

Can you please tell what findings of colonoscopy were?

For proper treatment the findings are important. Till then for symptomatic treatment give her oral rehydration solution (ORS - WHO approved) which will help to reduce the frequency of diarrhea.

Besides, coffee will also be helpful in reducing diarrhea frequency. Fatigue is because of water and electrolytes from body, ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) will treat it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
