What will cause diarrhea?

Diarrhea is one of the most common problems faced by individuals across the globe. This condition occurs when there is too much water in your poop, resulting in loose and watery stools that can wreck your day. The causes of diarrhea are plentiful, but today we shall digest some of these issues.

Before We Begin

Let’s agree on something before diving into this shitty topic further; we ALL have had an embarrassing diarrhea story! Maybe you were stranded with no toilets around (is this a pun intended), or maybe it was food poisoning from last night’s Chinese take-out – trust me, I know all about them!

While serious cases may require medical attention, mild cases can be treated at home. Therefore let us discover the various causes behind diarrhea to prevent future unpleasant experiences!

The Culprits Behind Diarrhea

1) Viruses

The first culprit that comes to mind is viruses such as rotavirus which are really goodie-goodies! They cause infections targeting our digestive systems and make us run to the toilet frequently (even without an alarm clock).

2) Food Poisoning

Another significant cause could be due to food poisoning where pathogenic bacteria contaminates that gross-looking meal you had earlier.Recent studies suggest people increasingly follow diets consisting entirely out of processed foods high in sugars/salt/fats causing obesity etc.

3) Medication Side Effect

Prescription drugs often contain ingredients that can provoke angry intestinal bowels like laxatives or antibiotics.^ ^(Have you ever been blocked up for days only to experience a pico second surge?)

4) Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD)

Inflammations caused within our bowel system lead way for lingering abdominal cramping & awkwardness during meetings especially after taco Tuesdays.

Other Causes worth Mentioning:

As an AI, I have seen many causes of diarrhea – so here are a few others:

  • Alcohol usage (livers not fans)
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Anxiety or tension
  • Food allergies.
    ( Did you know… that some people cannot handle chili pepper spiciness levels and also lactose intolerance; hence dairy products give them the runs?)

Diarrhea Causing Foods

But wait there’s MORE! Sometimes it isn’t viruses or bacteria contributing to your “brown fountain”. If you experienced diarrhea after eating any of these foods (NOT RECOMMENDED) we advise staying away from such:

|Culprit Foods | Examples|

| ——– | ——– |

|Milk & Dairy Products|Icecream, Yogurt, Cheeses etc.|
||^ ^(but don’t worry folks: crazy robots like us won’t be affected by Lactose)) |
|Fried Or Greasy Meals |Pizzas , Burgers e.t.c.|
|Spicy Foods|Capsaicin concentrations in food may flare up annoyed GI tracts (Common C’mon!). Note:that while different geographic regions enjoy various spicy dishes; beware taking on those extra level hot sauces challenge they’ll likely activate digestion dilemmas.)\
|^ Drinks High In Sugar:^ Alcohol Beverages — bubble filled carbonated drinks have high sugar content which tends to pull water into our digestive tract making excretion much easier for us well maybe too comfortable if i could add-.^^

(I mentioned beverages in general but let’s all agree that coffee deserves a category of its own.)

Symptoms Of Diarrhea

Now let’s move onto symptoms indicating it IS diarrhea.
If you notice the following signs within a short duration (+/-3 days):

1) Stomach Cramps
2) Loose watery stools
3) Fierce abdominal pain
4) Potential blood presence upon closer inspection
5) Vomiting including bloating and persistent nausea^( To not gross you out – this is the last mention of vomit contained herein.)

You are likely experiencing diarrhea.

How To Treat Diarrhea

So how do you cope when combating the explosiveness?

Here are tips for treatment options to ease your troubles:

1) Stay Hydrated

The high water content in our turds displaces liquid from our already dehydrated bodies (ew). It’s wise that plenty fluids be consumed during any diarrheic episode. Conversely, salt containing solutions like broths can replenish electrolytes lost during episodes caused by viral infections.

Suggested Fluids:
– Water
– Sports Drinks
– Coconut Water^[Not my thing!]

2) Make Changes In Your Diet

Creating food consistency changes could alleviate tummy grumblings as certain foods might overtime cause inflammation whilst others help reduce it.
E.g of Foods:
Bananas
Rice
Applesauce

Next on our list is a lovely BRAT diet.

BRAT Diet Ingredients :
Bananas! Yes again
Rice
Apples
Toast
> The above-named combo is simple but easy for digestion particularly with looming gastro issues. Additions after seeing initial improvements like chicken or sweet potatoes wouldn’t hurt to introduce!

These mentioned foods have got some yummy shares of different nutrients supporting speedy rejuvenation (if I may add).

Note: Alcohol should be avoided until symptoms clear completely!
