Diarrhea

Diarrhea is defined as three or more watery, loose bowel movements in a 24-hour period and is characterized by watery, loose stools. It's a common sign of food poisoning. It happens when your bowel becomes less effective at reabsorbing the water and other fluids it secretes during digestion due to inflammation. Other symptoms that may accompany diarrhea include a sense of urgency while going to the toilet, bloating, or stomach cramps.

You're in danger of dehydration because you lose more fluid than usual when you have it. As a result, it's critical to stay hydrated by drinking enough of water. If you can't tolerate solid foods, sipping liquid foods like broths and soups can help you stay hydrated and give you a boost of energy. Monitor the color of your urine to see whether you're dehydrated. It should be light yellow or clear. Dehydration may be indicated if your urine is darker than this.
