This a major concern for us!!! Probably at least dozen recent conversations on the Q&A column on this app if you want a ton of advice!!

As far as back and forth with diarrhea, you may need to address gut health, like infections or parasites .... I did the oregano oil with black seed oil things for couple months and that really helped balance the issues ... parasites can be a real thing and no probiotics, prebiotics or enzymes can rid them but the oregano oil with black seed oil are a gentle natural antibiotics combo that worked for me ...
Well that's what I can think of now, good luck (((HUGS)))
