Diarrhea is a condition characterized by frequent passing of abnormally loose or watery stools. Often, diarrhea is accompanied by stomach pain, abdominal cramps, and bloating. In severe cases, it can lead to dehydration, and weight loss.

&nbsp;

There are many causes of diarrhea including virus, bacteria, parasites, certain medications, lactose intolerance, fructose, artificial sweeteners, and other digestive disorders.

&nbsp;

In most cases, diarrhea will resolve within two days. If it lasts longer than two days, or if it is accompanied by fever, bloody stools, or severe abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention.

&nbsp;

A person who has diarrhea should avoid foods that aggravate the stomach and may cause spasms, such as milk products, fatty foods, and alcohol.

&nbsp;

Recommend foods for those with loose bowels include bananas, white rice, applesauce, white bread, and potatoes and other simple starches.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.
