What can I give my mom for treatment of loose stool?

Go natural baby. Banana, rice, tea, toast (aka BRAT Diet) can help. If the body doesn't make it, the body doesn't want it; so I don't recommend another pill.

Contact a homeopathic or naturopathic for a natural therapy. Sometimes loose stools are a sign of severe constipation as the colon is impacted permitting only loose material thru. Contact a colonist. Also a chiropractor and a reflexologist are natural therapist to call.

Discuss this with her doctor's office.

I wouldn't give an elder ANYTHING without talking to their doctor first. So many OTC drugs could interfere with medications. Maybe mom needs to see her doctor if the problem persists. There may be something else going on.....not to mention drug side effects. Loose stools are better than being constipated, IMO.
