My Grandma has recently lost her appetite and strength. this happened within two days. Any advice?

She's eating very little and drinking and sleeping a lot more and not wanting to get up out due to her being so week. Today she got up got dress and ate half banana with coffee and two crackers but has been doing diarrhea. She is 82 years old she had accident on her self and is now asleep. I know going to the bath takes a toll on you.

I thought I answered this earlier? First of all do know she can live on very little for some time. I think with the diarrhea in question she needs to see her MD if this is going on for a few days. I would suggest a bit of ensure made into a milkshake with chocolate if she likes it, but some people actually get diarrhea from it so it might not be right for now. Is she taking something for the diarrhea? Does she normally have a fair appetite?
