The diarrhea constipation roller coaster is a difficult thing to manage, obviously she was prescribed too much of the codeine for her needs. You could ask for a referral to someone that treats IBS, or just do a lot of reading about it and about chronic constipation and or diarrhea. It may take a lot of trial and error to come up with the right diet and medicine plan for her.
If you tell us more perhaps we can offer more suggestions.
