Diarrhea is health condition where a persons stools
are watery. Often this is a way for the body to get rid of toxins and other problem substances in the body. In many cases of simple diarrhea,
it should not be suppressed too quickly. It may be healthier to allow your body to flush itself clean, as long as you can support it with adequate fluids.
There are many microorganisms that can cause diarrhea, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. You can pick up viruses, bacteria, or protozoa from other people or from contaminated food and water. Food poisoning causes diarrhea very quickly. Food
allergies and sensitivities can also cause diarrhea.
Less common causes of diarrhea include reactions to drugs, including
alcohol , cystic fibrosis , inflammatory bowel
disease , hepatitis , parasites, and
pancreatitis. An anatomical deformity. such as a fistula, or a congenital defect, such as Hirschsprung’s disease or short bowel syndrome, can also cause diarrhea. If
the diarrhea is caused by any of these conditions, then you may require medical attention.

Most cases of simple diarrhea are caused by viruses. Viruses invade the intestinal tract, causing irritation and inflammation of the intestinal walls. Viruses also induce the cells lining the intestines to secrete fluids. The increase in fluid volume in turn increases peristalsis, the wavelike contractions of the intestines. The result is cramping and the loose, watery, frequent stools characteristic of
diarrhea. Vomiting and stomachache often accompany diarrhea, and abdominal cramps usually come and go, often occurring right before a bowel movement. Depending on the cause of the diarrhea, you may or may not have a fever. When you are suffering from diarrhea, dehydration is always a concern, especially if your temperature is elevated.
If you are alert and are not experiencing cramping between episodes, it’s safe to assume your body has the situation under control. But if diarrhea lasts for longer than
48 hours or comes and goes over a period of 2 weeks or more, or if you feel weak, have cramping that is not relieved between episodes, experience severe or persistent abdominal pain with diarrhea, or have blood in the stool,
then you should call your doctor.
