(The Best Years in Life) If you're an average American, you'll probably have one or two unpleasant episodes of diarrhea this year. Fortunately, diarrhea will normally pass within a couple of days, and if it doesn’t there are natural remedies which will usually help. 

The most common, and milder, form of diarrhea, known as “acute diarrhea” or “non-inflammatory diarrhea", is usually caused by a bacterial or viral culprit, such as those found in contaminated food or water. It can also be caused by an imbalance in gut flora. Symptoms may include watery bowel movements, stomach cramps, abdominal pain, gas, nausea and vomiting.

Acute diarrhea can also be caused by:

*Extreme fatigue
*Stress and anxiety
*Antibiotics and other medications
*Excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeinated drinks
*Large quantities of vitamin C and/or magnesium
*Nutritional deficiencies, including deficiencies in niacin and folic acid
*Improper food chewing
*Putrefied food in the stomach
*Lack of stomach acid and digestive enzymes
*Pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables
*Sugar substitutes
*Laxative overuse
*Aspirin
*Dishwashing detergent

In some instances, diarrhea can linger and become "chronic diarrhea", which can result in serious health complications, especially among the young, elderly or chronically ill. Chronic diarrhea is usually an indication of a more serious underlying condition, such as irritable bowel syndrome, hyperactive thyroid, celiac disease (gluten intolerance) or other food allergy. If the cause of prolonged diarrhea is not known, get a professional diagnosis in order to identify and address the underlying condition.
