Why is diarrhea is so wet?

Because it contains the liquids from the food and drinks you have had and when you have diarrhea this moves through your intestines too fast and/or your intestines are too irritated to absorb and use the liquids before the stool and accompanying liquids are eliminated. Sometimes your body also draws extra liquids from your blood and other parts of your body that can increase the amount of wetness in the diarrhea, too.

What could be wrong if you have had diarrhea cramps and gas for 7 days?

Keep off fruit and squashy vegetables, most importantly. Also avoid fruit juices, spicy food such as curry, and go easy on relishes and sauces. Also don't drink alcohol, and steer clear of sweet desserts with a lot of custard, syrup or cream. The best foods for diahorrea sufferers are those that are high in starch- potatoes, rice, pasta, and most root crops (though not onions). Bran flakes, rye bread and lean meat are also helpful.

Does diarrhea make you lose weight?

Kinda-sorta, but not really.

With diarrhea, you're losing fluids,(water). You can easily get a bit dehydrated.

Now, fluid loss will look like weight loss if you step on a scale. But it's not a sustainable loss. As soon as you're able to keep stuff in and has had something to drink, your weight will bounce right back to where it was before you got diarrhea.

If you slept when it was cold is it one of the causes of diarrhea?

The vagus nerve affects heart rate, gastrointestinal peristalsis, sweating, muscle movements in the mouth, (including speech and keeping the larynx open for breathing. Stimulation of the vagus nerve can send more blood to the organs and away from the extremities, which explains why your limbs and skin may feel colder than usual. The nerve is often stimulated when the rectum is full, or during straining to defecate. The vagus nerve stimulation is also one reason many people have heart attacks while straining to defecate.

Can protein supplements cause diarrhea?

Yes

They often cause gas build up during digestion which in turn may lead to diarrhea from the gas pushing out liquids faster than normal

The worst part is that it can actually lead to constipation as well

If a large amount of the liquid is pushed out too quickly along with the gas, the remainder may end up dry and bulky

This can lead to cycles of diarrhea, followed by constipation, followed by diarrhea, and so on

To prevent this, supplements should not be the primary source of food intake. Scale back on their use until you find a balance of solid foods along with supplements that your body can handle, everyone's tolerance level is going to be different

Also, if you do find yourself with diarrhea be sure to include extra hydration (mostly pure water or mineral water) in your intake to help prevent constipation being the next stage

Can you eat pasta when you have diarrhea?

Of course. Fruit salad is full of fiber, which is good for diarrhea. Some people think that fiber loosens stool, but actually it just balances it out. So it can help constipation and diarrhea. Plus, fruits contain lots of liquid, so it can help with dehydration, which is a big issue associated with diarrhea. Anyway, feel free to eat that fruit salad.

Can strong coffee lessen Diarrhea?

I would recommend against that. Caffeine is a laxative, so it would probably just worsen your diarrhea. If the coffee is caffeine free, it wouldn't do much harm, but it wouldn't do any good either. So, lay off the coffee while you have diarrhea!

Foods to heal diarrhea and throw up?

If you mean BOTH vomiting and diarrohea (at separate ends of course) the vet would recommend starving the animal for 24 hours of all solid food but allowing free access to fresh, clean water. After that if symptoms subside the animal can be fed a small bland meal, such as boiled chicken or boiled fish & rice and see how it goes. However if any blood is passed from either end or the animal is in obvious distress, do contact the vet immediately
