hi. i don't know how to explain this. but my mother is not doing well since 5-6 years. she sometimes experiences gas problem which is very severe. like stomach ache most importantly. Last year she experienced some gas problem in the evening and then when she woke up in the morning she passed stools 6-7 times in an hour or something and it didn’t stop even after taking any medicine we had to rush to the hospital and there also her loose motions were not stopping and she got discharged after 6 days in the hospital . i am really worried because she experiences such things very often and i am really afraid that i dont want to see her in that condition again. Please tell me what to do and where should we consult ?
