Diarrhea is the condition of having three or more loose or liquid bowel movements per day. Every day, the digestive system, particularly your small and large bowels (intestines), must process nearly nine quarts of fl uid! Of course, that does not all come from the water, coffee, tea, juice, or other beverages that you drink, which typically account for only about two quarts of this total. Your body actually produces the rest of this fl uid, in the form of saliva, digestive juices from the stomach and pancreas, bile from the gallbladder, and an additional one to two quarts of fluids produced in the intestines to aid in digestion.
Normally, your bowels can effi ciently handle both the fluids that you drink and those your body produces. Problems arise, however, when viruses, bacteria, certain foods, sweeteners, or disease irritate or alter the lining of the small or large bowel, preventing the absorption of this fluid.
