When stool is loose or watery, it is called diarrhea. It is typically a health condition that often resolves on its own without medical intervention.
You may need to go to the bathroom quickly when you have diarrhea, and this will happen more often than usual. You may also experience bloating, abdominal pain, and sometimes nausea.
While most diarrhea is self-limiting, sometimes diarrhea can cause serious problems. Diarrhea can be caused by dehydration (when your body loses a lot of water), electrolyte deficiency (sodium, potassium and magnesium deficiency, which play an important role in the body’s vital functions) and kidney failure. When you have diarrhea, you lose water and electrolytes in your stool.
Symptoms of diarrhea can vary depending on whether the diarrhea is mild or severe and what is causing the diarrhea. There is a link between severe diarrhea and poor health that needs to be addressed.
When you have diarrhea, you may have all or only some of these symptoms. The main symptoms of diarrhea are loose or watery stools.
Other symptoms of mild diarrhea may include:
Abdominal pain or cramping.
A strong and fast urge to go for a bowel movement.
Nausea
If you have severe diarrhea, you may have the following symptoms:
Fever
Weight loss
Dehydration
Severe pain
Vomiting
Blood in stools

The main risk is dehydration. However, for some patients, diarrhea can lead to severe dehydration or be associated with bacteremia and metastatic disease. Also, severe dehydration can lead to organ damage, shock, and unconsciousness (loss of consciousness) or coma.
Diarrhea is usually transmitted through loose, watery, and bad feces. Diarrhea is the sudden onset of 3 or more bowel movements per day, lasting less than 14 days. The most common cause of diarrhea is an intestinal infection such as gastroenteritis or food poisoning.
Podophyllum is another homeopathic remedy that is effective in the treatment of Diarrhea. Profuse, gushing, watery Diarrhea indicates the need for this treatment.
Banana, rice, apple sauce, and toast is often used to treat people with digestive issues like Diarrhea and Constipation because they don’t contain a lot of fiber, which helps keep stools solid. The BRAT protocol begins with eating a banana.
For patients trying to get relief from diarrhea, doctors recommend a bland diet. These foods include oatmeal, bread, white pasta, crackers, boiled potatoes, white rice, applesauce, bananas and other grains such as porridge or cream of wheat.
White rice is a food which is generally well-tolerated for people with diarrhea. The reason is that it does not contain fibre, which helps in reducing the bowel movements.
