Because diarrhoea can cause an electrolyte imbalance (because many electrolyte products are lost in the volume of water which is lost during an episode of diarrhoea) which sometimes needs to be corrected with rehydration salts - these usually contain potassium, magnesium, some sodium and glucose. Lack of potassium can cause tiredness, heart palpitations and in the worst cases death.
