Hello and welcome. I understand your concerns.
She should do first the stool testing to see what kind of e coli is causing it. if this is some resistant type then specific antibiotics may have been used. Also, she should have probiotics and dietary changes to fecover bowel flora. If there is no improvement, she should do colonoscopy to rule out some other possible causes of her difficulties.
Wish you good health. Kindly regards.
