Diarrhea is not a normal bowel movement. The cause of
diarrhea escapes many sufferers. They constantly are trying to determine why
they have diarrhea. Some people with diarrhea may have only one bowel movement a
day while others have diarrhea 10-15 times each day. Their quality of life may
be declining because of the diarrhea as they must know every bathroom between
their home and destination to avoid accidents.
The cause of diarrhea may be as simple as a lack of beneficial bacteria in the
gastrointestinal system and the diarrhea may stop by taking a probiotic
supplement (consisting of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) from the health
food store. Diarrhea may also be caused by an abnormal population of bad
bacteria, yeast or parasites in the gut.
An additional cause of diarrhea may be because of something you are eating.
Diarrhea occurs most frequently from the use of dairy products. Fructose
containing foods such as fruit, corn, high fructose corn syrup, added sugars and
beets, carrots, onions, peas, tomatoes, eggplant, sweet potato and winter squash
may also cause diarrhea.
Intolerances to gluten containing foods such as wheat, oats, barley and rye may
also cause diarrhea. Celiac Disease (different than a gluten intolerance) is
also well known as a cause of diarrhea.
The simple way to test a dairy, fructose, gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease
is to stop eating those foods.
