yes, it's possibly caused by the pills you are consuming. although diarrhea may probably cause slight loss of weight, but it's definitely BAD for health. those pills might not be a good idea after all, exercise is! in other words, consult a doctor.

Firstly have you checked with your doctor as to whether taking such pills is healthy for you??
I think any pill that is specifically designed to help lose weight is highly dangerous. The only way to healthily lose excess weight and tone up tummies etc is to eat less, completely change your eating habits and find a good excercise routine that you can stick to without over doing it.
Having 'the runs' can clean you out, so to speak, but if certain things are causing it, then I would stop taking them because you also lose a lot of fluid which can make you incredibly de-hydrated. It can also lead to heammoroids if it gets too bad because you will find yourself straining to go when there is no longer nothing there to pass.
You must have had this feeling at least once in your life and so should know that it isn't pleasant. Do you really want to subject yourself to that again??
Good luck

The pills works by stimulating your intestinal system causing diarrhea among a host of other unnatural things. Long-term this can cause irreparable damage, consult a physician and research the side effects of the different ingredients as none of them are FDA tested or approved typically. You're not making a long-term lifestyle change. No pill is magic or really worth it in my opinion. Exercising and eating better are the best options and no it's not easy but you want your tummy flat for the rest of your life not just temporarily because of a mystery pill.

Diarrhea strips the body of much needed water, but is useful when you have a bacteria. The diarrhea helps to cleanse the body from the unwanted toxin or infection.
Lack of hydration can lead to many other problems.

If you have diarrhea, you must make sure you consume plenty of water so you don't dehydrate. Water can actually help cure some causes of diarrhea.
Diarrhea, BTW, is hereditary....(it runs in your 'genes'...lol)
