Specializes in Internal Medicine - Allergy & Immunology

Neither, may be: You don't tell us how severe your diarrhea was. Still, a one time diarrhea may be of unknown cause or food poisoning. Diarrhea due to food allergy would be recurrent and usually start at a younger age, recurrent diarrhea may have other causes and needs to be investigated.
