Question 1

Can fruit cause loose stools? i've been eating apples red grapes & strawberries lately and noticed loose stools.

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course.  Fruit, especially in abundance is well known to cause a softening of the stool.

Question 2

Could eating vegetable soup (carrots, celery, a bit of onion) give someone diarrhea? i had 2 bowls half hour ago and now i have bad diarrhea.

Accepted Answer

be possible that the soup was tainted and caused "food poisoning" resulting in diarrhea. Any foods left out "warming" for a prolonged period of time at an unsafe temperature becomes a breeding ground for pathogens.

Question 3

Visiting mexico two months now had diarrhea three days later poop very light brown still light week later. not eating vegetables?

Accepted Answer

Not only vegetables are a source of water contamination. You might had been exposed in some other way. If you are having diarrhea under these circumstances call you doctor and get seen so you may get treated for this.

Question 4

Ave recently started drinking fruits blended in water  after a week of one a day i began to have dirrehea. i have had it for ten days now and do not?

Accepted Answer

Fruit juice can cause diarrhea.  So, if a person has diarrhea after starting to drink a lot more fruit juice, stop the fruit juice and see if the poop becomes normal.  If there are other ill signs (such as vomiting, fever, or tummy aches), the doctor may examine to see if something more serious than juice is causing the diarrhea.  Stomach flu and bacterial infections can also cause diarrhea.

Question 5

Can i give some fruits and vegetables to my 10 m baby with mild diarhea?  any examples?

Accepted Answer

Most pediatricians will recommend the BRAT diet for children with diarrhea ( Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast).  Most vegetables are fine to feed during this time, but excessive fruits (especially those low in fiber or acidic) may contribute to or make diarrhea worse.

Question 7

My son is 4&he has had diarrhea 2days now.he's acting normal he has a slight fever.he is eating ok.for the past 2days he has gone off 18 times so far?

Accepted Answer

I'm always concerned about kids with diarrhea and fever. Once in a while there are findings only present on exam rather than history that warrants medication or fluids in case of dehydration. Please have your child evaluated immediately.

Accepted Answer

Hi. I cannot diagnose your symptoms. I would like to start with looking for clarification, as your first sentence can be interpreted more than one way.  If your urine is much like diarrhea would be, than you absolutely need to get seen by a doctor right away.  I think however, that what you were describing was diarrhea that has the consistency of urine.  There is a lot of viral gastroenteritis going around right now. If the bug going around in jamaica, ny is much like the one circulating in newport, ri - it is a really nasty one.  It is a good sign that your fever has resolved. 
     Viral gastroenteritis causes the peristalsis (motility) of the GI tract  to increase.  Digested materials  are pushed  through your large intestine so quickly, that fluids are not reabsorbed from the feces as they normally would be. The spasm of the smooth muscles in your gut can cause pain. If your symptoms do not resolve in a couple more days then you could have a bacterial infection, parasite or a disease of the gut. 
  It is likely however, to be the bug that you suspected you caught from a child. Work hard on staying hydrated. Water is very important, even if you can only tolerate sipping it. Stay away from acidic beverages and caffiene.  Clear beverages may be helpful for 12 to 24 hours.  When you add in solids, avoid things like meats, dairy products and fibrous vegetables as well as spicy  or highly fatty foods. 
    One of the dangers of severe diarrhea is dehydration. If you try to stay up on fluids but you end up with a really fast heart beat, you feel dizzy (especially if it worse when getting up); you may be dehydrated. In that case, you may need a trip to the emergency room for intravenous hydration.  I hope you feel better soon.
