What are some causes of diarrhea?

Answer by  blrVoice (1054)

Some types of food cause diarrhea and often bad food or water can be the reason too. Especially when you drink or eat at/from unhygienic places diarrhea can be caused. So be careful what and from where you eat and drink. Check, if the food is boiled, whether the water is also good. Sometimes even stress can trigger it off.

Diarrhea may be caused by bacteria found in raw meat, eggs, milk and shellfish. Viral strains cause diarrhea, this is normally found in contaminated food, drinking water and eating utensils. Some people suffer from chronic diarrhea, this may be due to a reaction to medication or intolerance to certain food.
