How do you get a diarrhea?

In: Conditions and Diseases, Intestinal Health, Diarrhea [Edit categories]

Answer:

Most commonly, bacteria gets in your digestive system and diarrhea is the body's way of flushing it out. Another cause is fiber. If you've eaten more fiber than usual, it can cause diarrhea. Very rare causes would be colon cancer or a disease such as Crohns, but again, this is rare.
