What Causes Diarrhea ?
The recent report from the WHO reveals that globally around 3.5 million of deaths are occurring due to diarrhea and about 80 percent of the affected are children below 5 years of age.

- Inflammatory diarrhea -- It is caused by some form of infections due to bacteria, virus, parasite or some malfunctioning of immune system which results in irritable bowel syndrome.
- Dysentery -- Presence of blood in the stool is an indicative of dysentery. It happens because of excessive secretion of water by anti diuretic hormone from the posterior pituitary gland.
Apart from the above reasons diarrhea may happen because of the consumption of stale and infected food. Some times side effects of few medicines can also trigger diarrhea such as antibiotics.
