What is Diarrhea?Diarrhea is a common condition that many people experience several times during their lives. A person has diarrhea when he produces three or more loose stools in a day. Typically, a person only produces these loose and watery stools for a few days, and then the bowel movements go back to normal. This type of diarrhea is called acute diarrhea. However, chronic diarrhea, which lasts for four weeks or more, can also occur. Diarrhea can be dangerous because it can cause dehydration.What Causes Acute Diarrhea?The most typical cause of acute diarrhea is an infection caused by bacteria, a virus or a parasite. Bacteria found in food and water, such as E. coli and Salmonella are common culprits. Viruses such as rotavirus, norovirus and viral hepatitis are leading causes of diarrhea.
