You were given excellent and consistent advice to this question. Why are you continuing to allow yourself to be taken advantage of by your BF and subjected to abuse by this demented women to whom you are not related? The only winner here is your BF.
And most definitely get Adult Protective Services involved either way as they can help you get her placed and take over her care.
This woman needs to be in the appropriate facility where she won't be allowed to live in such filth. You shouldn't be living that way either as that is definitely a biohazard.
This has NOTHING to do with this woman's diarreaha or changing doctors but getting this woman the help she so desperately needs in the appropriate facility so you both can live in peace and not in poop.

The only way to diagnose this is biopsies of the intestines via colonoscopy which I would not subject someone in her age to.
Many times this is caused by prescription meds and is a side effect. Talk to her doctor about any prescription drugs that list loose stool as a side effect that may be causing this.
Pepto Bismol tablets (up to 8 a day); prescription budesonide, or prescription cholestyramine are effective against this.
Candy should be discontinued. Foods like chicken, rice, overcooked mushy veggies are best, bananas are good too.
