Depends on how bad it is.
The biggest danger of severe diarrhea is fluid loss, but if it's not too bad it's quite possible to drink enough to compensate so that there won't be any immediate health risks.
In a longer setting, you might run into malnutrition issues, if food isn't staying in your system long enough to be absorbed. But if you have a good diet, even this will take some time to be serious.
