Hi dear......

What is diarrhea?
Diarrhea occurs when a person suffers from repeated bowel movements which are loose and watery. It’s a very common condition and is not considered to be serious.Many people get diarrhea once or twice each year. It normally lasts 2 to 3 days, and you can treat it with over-the-counter medicines.
What are the causes of diarrhea?
Usually, diarrhea is caused by a virus that infects your gut. Diarrhea is also known as intestinal flu or stomach flu.
Some common causes of diarrhea include:
contaminated food
alcohol abuse
diseases of the intestines (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
eating foods that upset the digestive system
infection by bacteria (the cause of most types of food poisoning) or other organisms
laxative abuse
medications
allergies to certain foods
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
radiation therapy
some cancers
undergoing any surgery related to the digestive system
trouble absorbing certain nutrients also called “malabsorption”
diarrhea may also follow constipation, especially for people who have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Who is prone to diarrhea?
Some people could be more prone to diarrhea than others, such as:
People suffering from illnesses like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
People undergoing cancer treatments
People who take certain medications such as laxatives, antacids, drugs that contain magnesium, NSAIDs (like aspirin and ibuprofen)
People who suffer from an intolerance of dairy products
People suffering from gluten intolerance
People who often take greasy fatty foods
Older people (above 65 years) who suffer from several digestive disorders
What are the symptoms of diarrhea? How is diarrhea diagnosed?
Some common symptoms of diarrhea include:
bloated stomach
cramps
thin or watery stools
the constant feeling that you need to have a bowel movement
nausea
vomiting
More serious symptoms include:
blood or mucus in your stool
weight loss
fever
Diagnosis
If you suffer from any of the symptoms of diarrhea, and home remedies do not seem to be working, you can consult your family doctor or a general practitioner. The doctor will conduct a general physical exam and may ask you to undergo certain tests to find out the cause of diarrhea.
The tests can include:
Blood test
Stool test to check for any bacterium or parasite which is causing your diarrhea.
Flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy to look at the lining of your colon and provide biopsies if no cause is evident for persistent diarrhea.
What are the complications of diarrhea?
The complications of diarrhea include:
dehydration which can be dangerous for children, elderly people, and people with compromised immune systems.
severe abdominal pain and blood in stool
inability to control bowel movements
severe weakness
shock
kidney failure
acidosis (too much acid in the blood)
What is the treatment of diarrhea?
Diarrhea usually clears on its own without treatment. However, if it persists the doctor may prescribe antibiotics if the diarrhea is caused by bacteria or parasites. If it is a virus which is causing the condition antibiotics cannot help. The doctor may prescribe intravenous rehydration to replace the lost fluids and salts in the body in severe cases.
