Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of being 76, known Parkinson's and has bad stomach with loose stools for three days followed by increase in Parkinson's symptoms, weakness, swelling in ankles and feet.
This looks to be due to Enteritis.
This has caused the fluid and electrolyte imbalance causing further problems of increase in symptoms of Parkinson's and edema of the feel and ankles.
I would advise you the following:
Stool tests
Blood electrolytes and routine
Ultrasonography of the abdomen.
This will give you the probable diagnosis and needs treatment as per the reports which may be in the form of intravenous fluids, antibiotics and symptomatic treatment.
I find this answer helpful
