Diarrhea: Food intolerance (e.g. lactose/milk intolerance), excess sugar or carb intake, sorbitol (artificial sweetener) and some medications (e.g. antibiotics, some diabetes meds) are possible causes. If there is an obvious temporary cause like antibiotics, it is okay to wait and watch and keep a calendar to identify causes. If fever, blood in stool or worsening abdominal pain, it should be checked.
