How do you get diarrhea?

I know that you can get diarrhea from medication, food poisoning, and other things like that but I want to know what FOODS give you diarrhea and how much. Don't say prunes! I am wanting to know so that I can prevent it from happening.

Hello madalionxo, most fruits and even a lot of veggies can cause diarrhea if you eat a lot of them. Bananas, if over eaten can cause constipation though because of the potassium in them.

O.K.- too much fruit sugar does purge the gut, so you can have too much of a good thing. Many bacteria and yeasts trigger a purging response, too. Basically diarrhea is a natural process the Body uses to clear itself of irritants. The most effective answer to this situation is Activated Charcoal in capsules (or tablets). These absorb the toxins and clump the liquid stools together. The tablets are also MAGIC at reducing flatulence ("farts") as well as reducing the pong of intestinal gas. TELL you Pharmacist you want to buy Activated Charcoal capsules if he doesn't already have them in store. I use three at a time! Really bad explosive diarrhea needs Oak bark extract - available only from a local Herbalist.
