Suggest Treatment For Frequent Bowel Movements In An Elderly Person

Wondering about taking the drug Viberzi. My Dr. is suggesting I take it. I have frequent bowel movements. Usually around 5 or 6. Some large, some small, but throughout the day. This has been going on for years. I am 71 years and in great health except for this.
