Causes: Too much fruit and fiber (like oat-bran with a strawberry-banana smoothy on the side), food poisoning, lactose intolerance, gluten/wheat intolerance, stress, the flu, an injury or abnormality in the bowel, saline, too much mag-oxide in the diet ... once it starts, sugar can make it worse and last longer ... sugar alcohols in sugar-free gum, etc ...
If this is a chronic problem, you should see your doctor.

See a doctor. My wife has had that problem for 9 months and they don't know why yet. As the medicine says if the condition persists for more then 7 days see a doctor. It could be something serious or something they can treat.
Sorry!!

Poor dietary habits. Food allergies. Food poisoning. Dehydration. Drink a lot of clear liquids. Water and lighter gatorade work well. Best of luck with your rough time.

OUR bowels are full of bacteria that have a normal function.
Taking antibiotics can cause an inbalance and create diarrhea.
there are several causes of diarrhea.
Diet, worms, infections, chrones disease, irritable bowel syndrome.ulcerative colitis.
Please go and get yourself checked by a doctor. to rule out anything serious

hi, lots of things!!! something you've eaten, something your allergic to? if it happens just occasionally, then don't worry about it! put it down to bad food. if it happens often... then see your doctor and keep a diary of foods you've eaten and how your poop was. they may find that you're allergic to milk or many other things. if it is only a one off .... then only eat bananas, dried foods, rice or rice cakes, apples, or plain toast for a day after. and avoid all dairy products. (i.e. milk, cheese, yoghurts) good luck x

could you be lactose intolerant? Does this happen after eating/drinking dairy foods.
If not chronic try eating some yogurt and getting good bacteria into your digestive system.
