Loose stools for months and started after child birth

My wife has been suffering from persistent diarrhea since child birth. Only after delivering our son. It has been over 10 years, and it happens at least once every few weeks. She has tried avoiding spicy food, milk and coffee. None of them worked.
Anyone have any idea on what the issue is?

Hm.  How is her weight?  Is she nutrient deficient or having health problems?  Has she seen a doctor and done any studies of her stool?  In the US, you can get your stool tested and they can see what might be going on. Things like parasites.  Hate to say that but it can happen.  Or ulcerative colitis.  Irritable bowel syndrome.  Has she spoken to a doctor about this issue?
