Diarrhea is when your stools are loose and watery. You may also need to go to the bathroom more often. Diarrhea is a common problem. It may last 1 or 2 days and goes away on its own. If diarrhea lasts more than 2 days it may mean you have a more serious problem. Diarrhea may be either: short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic).

The main causes of diarrhea are infections, food intolerance, and certain medical conditions. Infections that can cause diarrhea include viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Common food intolerances that can lead to diarrhea include lactose intolerance, fructose intolerance, and artificial sweeteners. Medical conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can also cause diarrhea.

Symptoms of diarrhea include loose or watery stools, abdominal cramping, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and urgency to go to the bathroom. Other possible symptoms include fever, weight loss, dehydration, severe pain, and blood in the stool. Symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the diarrhea and the underlying cause.
