Diarrhea is a condition in which loose, liquid stools occur. In some cases, it can manifest with other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
In accordance with Mayo Clinic, A non-profit entity dedicated to clinical practice, education, and research, this health condition is usually not serious.
“Fortunately, the diarrhea clears up quickly and usually lasts a few days at most. However, when the diarrhea lasts for weeks, it usually indicates another problem, such as irritable bowel syndrome, or a more serious disorder, such as a persistent infection, celiac disease, or inflammatory bowel disease.”
Medline Plus, website of the United States National Library of Medicine, points out some of the factors that can cause diarrhea:
- Contamination by bacteria in food or water.
