What causes Diarrhea?

What is Diarrhea?

Diarrhea is a condition characterized by loose, watery stools that occur more frequently than usual. It’s often a temporary issue caused by infection, diet, or medication, but it can also be a sign of an underlying digestive or medical condition. While most cases resolve on their own within a few days, persistent or severe diarrhea may require medical attention to prevent dehydration and identify the cause.

Symptoms can vary depending on the cause, but common signs include:

  • Frequent, loose, or watery bowel movements
  • Cramping or abdominal pain
  • Bloating or gas
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Urgent need to use the bathroom
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Signs of dehydration (such as dry mouth, dizziness, or dark urine)

If diarrhea lasts longer than a few days, contains blood, or is accompanied by a high fever or severe pain, it’s important to seek medical care promptly.

Diarrhea can be caused by several factors, including:

  • Viral infections such as norovirus or rotavirus
  • Bacterial infections from contaminated food or water (food poisoning)
  • Parasites (from travel or contaminated water)
  • Medications, especially antibiotics
  • Food intolerances such as lactose or gluten sensitivity
  • Digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Stress or anxiety, which can affect digestion

Identifying the cause helps your provider determine whether treatment involves medication, dietary adjustments, or other care.

Virtual care provides fast, convenient access to professional support when you’re not feeling well. During a secure online visit, your provider can:

  • Review your symptoms, diet, and recent travel or food exposure
  • Help determine if your diarrhea is likely viral, bacterial, or related to another condition
  • Recommend home care, hydration strategies, or dietary adjustments
  • Prescribe medications if needed
  • Provide guidance on when to seek in-person care or testing

Virtual visits allow you to get expert advice from home—especially helpful when rest and hydration are a priority.

 If appropriate, yes. Your provider can prescribe or recommend medications depending on the cause and severity of your symptoms. These may include:

  • Antibiotics, if a bacterial infection is suspected or confirmed
  • Antidiarrheal medications to reduce stool frequency (for non-infectious causes)
  • Antispasmodics to relieve cramping or abdominal discomfort
  • Rehydration treatments or electrolyte replacement guidance to prevent dehydration

Your provider will tailor your treatment plan to ensure safe, effective relief and help you recover as quickly as possible.
