Constipation: You may be constipated and the diarrhea may represent liquid stool leaking around the obstructing hard stool. A bowel movement may cure your problem. Use the laxative of your choice. My favorite in situations like this is Citrate of Magnesium. It comes in many flavors and when pored over ice, very palatable.
