Hello,
Loose motion can be due to several causes. I recommend your father to do a complete blood count and a stool test to confirm that the cause.
Meanwhile, he can use over the counter option like Imodium. He should take daily probiotics. For further treatment, he should see a gastrologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
