Diarrhea is a condition in which your bowel movements are loose and watery. They also occur more frequently than usual and in larger amounts. This issue may be acute, persistent or chronic. Everyone has experienced diarrhea at some point in their life, but it is actually one of the most common reasons for people to see a physician for medical advice.
The virus or infection should only last a few days but it may take up to a week for your bowels to become regular again. If you have only suffered from diarrhea for a few days or so, there is usually no need for you to be alarmed as this can be quite normal. The only time you should be concerned is when your diarrhea has lasted for a couple of weeks.
Diarrhea can stem from something as minor as a virus or food poisoning, but it may also be caused by a more serious condition such as a digestive disorder or an autoimmune disease.
The most common cause of Diarrhea is usually some type of virus or infection in the gastrointestinal tract.

Everyone’s bodies are different, so certain foods may or may not trigger certain symptoms of diarrhea. However, it is usually best to eat very plain, simple foods, especially within the first 24 hours of symptoms. Eating foods with probiotics, such as yogurt, have been known to shorten the duration of diarrhea. Keeping a food journal may also be helpful in determining which foods are triggers for you. That way you will know which foods you need to avoid as much as possible.

Over-the-counter medications may be helpful in treating the symptoms of your diarrhea. Use over-the-counter antidiarrheal medication if your diarrhea has lasted for more than 6 hours. Make sure you read and follow all directions, dosages, and warnings on the label, which is normally located directly on the bottle or box.
It is not recommended to take over-the-counter antidiarrheal medication long-term. To avoid constipation, stop taking any antidiarrheal medications immediately as your stool begins to thicken.
