My little sister is 10 years old and has had diarrhea all month but has been eating meals regulary but every time she has to go number 2 its diarrhea. Before she has to she feels hungery and she feels a little headache slowy growing and feels discomfort in her lower intestines. And this all happens within less then 3 minutes. Please help me figure out what my little sister has. AND she just started school today so we need to find out soon before she gets embarrassed at school.

Sounds as thought it may be an intestinal parasite. Has she eaten raw meat, pork, beef or fish recently? or has she drunk water from a well or spring water? She really needs to go and see a doctor and a stool sample taken for laboratory analysis

I'm not a doctor and I would strongly suggest your sister go to one to find out exactly what's going on. It could be something as simple as an allergy she just developed or it could be more serious. I wouldn't trust a diagnosis made over the Internet.

Why isn't she under the care of a doctor? Any case of diarrhea for more than 3 days can be serious.
Have your parents take her to a doctor.

sounds like an allergy. track everything she eats and watch what happens. bring the list to the doctor so they already know what she is eating to rule things out. hope she feels better soon!!

It could be anxiety from having to start a new school, not knowing what to expect etc..... if you are still unsure, taking her to the doctors should help :) Good Luck!

maybe she is allergic to something she is eating or something. does she have a bug? Did she go to the doctors?
maybe they should do a test. she could have something wrong with her intestines. what does mom say?
