10 Diarrhea Causes
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Cause #1: Food Poisoning
Food poisoning happens when you eat food that has been contaminated with bacteria (or their toxins), viruses and/or parasites. The first symptoms will probably occur after two to six hours. Symptoms such as stomach cramps, fever, nausea, and vomiting will go along with diarrhea. It usually takes around two days for all of these symptoms to go away, but it can last as long as 2 weeks.
