Cause #7: Certain Medications
If you read the instructions, you will quickly learn that many medications have diarrhea listed as a common side-effect. It is usually antibiotics, antacids, blood pressure medications and chemotherapy that are considered to cause diarrhea to occur in most cases.
What happens is the medications alter and change the bacteria in your gut causing certain imbalances which usually results in diarrhea among other digestive problems. If you are experiencing chronic diarrhea as a side-effect, make sure that you hydrate well and consult your doctor about a possible change of medications.
