Two things that come to mind are a C-Diff infection or Crohn's Disease. Either way, you should start her on an anti-inflamation diet (low carb, NO sugars, NO caffeine... Look online for information by Dr. Perricone). She also needs a strong probiotic every day, at least to replenish her gut bacteria which is being lost in her runny movements. Plain, unsweetened yogurt, kefir, or even probiotic pills are a good place to start. There are some reasonably priced probiotic pills available now at regular drugstores.
I have to say though, extended bouts of runny stool can lead to severe dehydration. Also, any blood in the stool is a SERIOUS problem and needs to be addressed by a good, understanding, knowledgeble gastroinerologist. This is nothing to fool around with! I understand without insurance this is a monsterous proposition, but there are other ways to get support. Contact charity services in your area, she may qualify for assistance. Catholic social services may be a good place to start. They have a long history of providing medical support to those in need.
Take care and good luck!!

Can I suggest that you go out and buy the book "Live Juices" from Dr. H. E. Kirschner. It is available on amazon and is not a new book. It was written in the 1960's. A women in the book was severely anorexic and cured herself by just drinking carrot juice. Carrot juice used to be called a miracle juice. This women drank or ate nothing but carrot juice for about 18 months (she didn't even drink water) and cured her problem and put on weight. Her photos are in the book along with other case studies. Carrot juice used to be known as an antiseptic for the body. It will help the digestive system and kill off the pathogens that are caused the loose stool. It will also put back much needed nutrients into her body. Anyway buy the book and research "the miracle of carrot juice" on the internet.
It also cleanses the blood and puts the body back into an alkaline state. Everyone should drink carrot juice every day. I have 3/4 carrot and 1/4 orange juice.. very tasty.

She could have parasites, infection or a candida issue. I am dealing with the same issue and treating it as a yeast problem since I have that anyway. I have had diarrhea for 9 weeks now. Take colloidal silver for infection, diatomaceous earth for parasites and get off all sugar and yeast products. Protein powder w/o sugar has helped me to keep up my strength. Search the site and look at the symptoms to figure out what she needs to do. What is her history? has she had parasites before? I use Immodium and Kaopectate when I just need help with the diarrhea. It helps a little. Borax and garlic are great for yeast and infection. Look those up also! Praying for your success!Replied by Patricia (Ocala, Fl) on 06/05/2012
Since your niece is losing weight and having runny stools, she may want to try a gluten free diet. These are symptoms of celiac disease and going gluten free for a few weeks may help.Replied by Baddiver (Holmen, Wisconsin) on 06/08/2012
As others have suggested, this can be caused by many things. Personally I had diarrhea for 5 months and found the root cause to be parasites. To get rid of it completely I had to kill the parasites with a zapper. To provide diarrhea symptom relief I found eating 6 apples a day for several days to help. I did not eat anything else during this time. DIET needs to be addressed for all gut issues and NAET treatments can be very helpful if the person providing them is good.
