Chronic Diarrhea: Diarrhea can be a result of infection, malabsorption, food allergies/ intolerance, transient lactose intolerance etc., etc. Usually viral GI infections do not last more than a week. Also keep in mind infection of other systems--- lungs (pneumonia), urine (UTI) etc should be ruled out too!
