There are many reasons. Here’s a list of common causes of diarrhea:
- Viral infection of the gut, such as the flu
- Bacterial infection, such as food poisoning
- Eating foods that don’t agree with your digestion
- Medications, such as antibiotics
- Food allergies
- Intestinal diseases, such as ulcerative colitis
- Radiation therapy
- Hyperthyroidism
- Malabsorption
- Some cancers
- Diabetes
- Laxative abuse (should go without saying, but I figured I’d say it anyway)
- Alcohol abuse
- Competitive running
- Digestive tract surgery
- After constipation
Do some of these ring a bell?
