Include Diarrhea information on your My EmpowHer page
Diarrhea is more than three loose, liquid stools in a single day. Diarrhea can be:
* Acute—occurring suddenly, and lasting briefly
* Chronic—long-term
* Recurring—occurring in recurrent episodes
Diarrhea depletes your body of fluids and electrolytes. If you lose too much fluid, you can become dehydrated . Diarrhea is particularly dangerous for babies, young children, and elderly people.
