Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Chronic diarrhea can occur as a result of pancreatic enzyme deficiency.
I advise you following , you may discuss with your doctor before acting on it.
1. Combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone
2. Pancreatic Enzyme supplements with meals.
Also get her blood sugar checked once.
