10 Common Causes of Diarrhea

Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS

Diarrhea is one of the main symptoms which is usually associated with irritable bowel syndrome, a common disorder which affects your large intestine. Some other common symptoms include constipation, chronic abdominal distention or bloating, and frequent, small stools. Also, the pain will be alleviated by bowel movements. Though this condition isn’t caused by specific foods, some foods might aggravate these symptoms. Under the effect of IBS, you might experience diarrhea for at least 6 months. [9]
