Diarrhea occurs when the body rejects certain foods or a person consumes too many liquids. Diarrhea causes a person’s stools to become loose and watery. This condition is common and is not typically serious when it occurs. Some people experience diarrhea after using some forms of medication. This usually occurs approximately once or twice a year for most people and remains for about two to three days. People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome may experience diarrhea more often. Most over-the-counter drugs can treat diarrhea, but in severe cases, a doctor can prescribe medication to help with pain and dehydration.

Diarrhea symptoms may include:

Bloating in your belly
Cramps
Thin or loose stools
Watery stools
An urgent feeling that you need to have a bowel movement
Nausea and throwing up
Blood or mucus in your stool
Weight loss
Fever
