What Could Be Causing Diarrhea?

my daughter has diarrhea that just does not go away. she may have a bowel movement that is a bit solid but then it goes right back to diarrhea. Her mother tells me it is intolerance to fruits, milk, etc... I am concerned that her mom is dismissing something that may be serious. We share custody, so I get my daughter every other weekend for 3-4 days at a time. I have made an appointment with Gastroenterology. Can you please advise this has been going on for several months.
