Diarrhea occurs when the contents of the small intestine are passed through the large intestine more rapidly than usual. The result is that the water does not have enough time to be reabsorbed so that instead of firm stools, a watery substance called chime passes out of the body through the anus. This is what constitutes diarrhea.
