Diarrhea is a very common health complaint that almost everyone experiences at various times in their lives. In the majority of cases, diarrhea only lasts for a few days and will typically resolve on its own. However, if diarrhea becomes chronic it can be a sign of a more serious underlying health problem.

Caution: During bouts of diarrhea, you must be careful to avoid dehydration caused by fluid loss, and the loss of electrolytes, which are ionized salts in the body, such as sodium and potassium, that are essential for proper functioning of the body. If not addressed, severe loss of electrolytes can cause death.
