What is Diarrhea

Diarrhea is loose, watery stools at least five to six times each day. Diarrhea might be acute, persistent, or chronic:

Acute diarrhea is a typical issue that commonly keeps going 1 or 2 days and leaves on its own.

Persistent diarrhea keeps going longer than about fourteen days and under about a month.

Chronic diarrhea keeps going about a month. The symptoms may be continual or come and go.

As we get older, our digestive system can become more delicate to specific kinds of food and techniques for food preparation.
