A member asked:
I know this is gross, but if you drink a lot of water and then you end up pooping for 10-20mins and its watery, does that mean you have diarrhea ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: That might have been from all the water you drank. Sometimes, when you drink a lot of water, your stool can get looser. Sometimes, when people are dehydrated, they get constipated. Now, if you don't drink any water, and your poop is watery, that may be diarrhea. And..Your question was not gross at all! :).
