This literally came at an opportune time, as I recover from a horrible bout of d&v. I was away in an hotel, where I asked for flat cola, which I had heard could replace electrolytes. In addition I took sips of water. After 24 hours things were calmed down and I managed to eat stewed peeled unsweetened eating apples. This a remedy I picked up years ago - any good??! Now after 24 hours I feel I can cautiously eat more. I didn’t get raised heartbeat or dry mouth, but I did have headache, which a friend put down to dehydration, but I’m not sure about that? I’m 72, so I was concerned about dehydration. I didn’t know if it was food poisoning or an infection, but thanks to you, I’m thinking it was a virus.

0:00: 🚽 Diarrhea occurs when the intestines are flooded with an abnormal amount of water, often caused by capsaicin in spicy meals. 3:29: 🤢 Certain foods, such as high-fat meals, dairy products, caffeine, and sugars, can trigger diarrhea and digestive symptoms. 6:53: 💩 Nighttime diarrhea can be caused by infections or inflammatory bowel diseases, with infections causing sudden symptoms and inflammation building up slowly over months. 9:44: 💧 Dehydration symptoms and the importance of staying hydrated during diarrhea. 13:07: 💩 Understanding the cause of diarrhea is important to determine the appropriate treatment. 16:23: 😷 Diarrhea can have different causes and treatment depends on the severity and symptoms.

Oh my!!!! The good doctor is so helpful!!! I am so thankful he is an expert in the diarrhea and our defications. This morning I had a massive bowel movement. Brown and stunk very bad. As I was wiping I had a severe cramp in my buttock region and then had a second full bowel movement. It was lighter brown and stunk very bad and also felt extremely hot on its way out. I am extremely worried. I have never had anything like this before. Can the good doctor please help me? I did eat creamed corn yesterday. Could this be the cause? I need help! I am playing in our retirement village scrabble tournament this weekend and can’t afford any bowel issues. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@roostercogburn3771]

I saved the best for last! I remember in 1994 when working on damaged river levees. I started having a problem with Afternoon diarrhea. Then one day I didn't have that problem. What I finally figured out what I did different, was that I drank something else. We would go to the Tavern at high-noon to eat. I had been drinking Lemonade, but that day I drank a soda. So, ever since I have hardly had a drop of Lemonade. Kinda like in the 1990s when I ate some corn and it immediately made me sick. I treat it the same way! That's strange how things you like can turn against you! I heard about a fellow who ended up with an allergy to beer! face-turquoise-covering-eyes🤢

[@Sheyz123]

I have another cause of diarrhea especially if you're not constipated in the first place. High quality organic extra virgin olive oil. I made my green 32oz green drink out of leafy greens sauerkraut and maybe an ¼ cup of EVOO. next morning I proceeded to completely clean out my digestive trac. didn't know if I was sick, I didn't feel sick I just felt weak. I fasted all day, started eating the next day. At the end of the day I drank my green drink with EVOO. It happened again. I am happy to know that I didn't have a bug but just wanted to warn people not to drink to 15:26 much EVOO😅

[@C-eq1tj]

Thank you. I made a dish with EVOO and probably put too much oil in it and have had diarreah 3 days since eating a serving of it.

Eating chilly (Thai style food) seems to help rather than trigger diarrhoea. However, when I have a bout of IBS, I need to eat white bread. It makes me miserable. 😢 I cant drink coffee or tea when I'm not home as I will have a bowel movement within 40 minutes. I have needed major bowel surgery (5 yrs ago) and further surgery a couple of months ago....3 yrs over due. I do drink mostly water. In order to control when and how often I need to open my bowels, I eat once a day only.

I drink a lot of water and it does bloat my tummy then I get diarrhea. But it's sucks cause I also don't wanna get dehydrated and people always suggest to drink lots of water! So I'm confused

[@jake.e.wanabee5333]

Severe dehydration and chronic underhydration also causes chronic diarrhea, and if untreated, hospitalization, especially in the elderly who refuse to drink the required 8-10 glasses (2 - 3L) of water daily. Which, particularly in elderly women, then leads to UTI's and crazy, nasty, behavior. So, if anyone out there is struggling with an elderly parent or relative who refuses to drink adequate water 2-3L, look out for diarrhea and UTI's, because hospitalization is next.

Carnivore diet made me so sick still dealing with diarrhea though it's soft mush now.

[@anneoconnor8741]

What about diahorrea that lasts for months? Colon cancer? I believe this is a very important sign?

Casual me watching this at 3.00 am on the toilet while having a hard time 👍😔

I started to have the diaherra after the cervical surgery and the hospital gave me a course of antibiotics to take. Obviously that is the side effect of the antibiotics that made my microbiome unbalanced. Taking antibiotics will help?
