A member asked:
I had one bout of diarrhea, pretty sure it was food i ate. back to normal now. can that one episode cause anemia? i didnt eat much after

Did you see blood?: Bloody stool can certainly present with anemia due to GI blood loss , but a single bout of self-limited diarrhea without blood is unlikely to. Easy enough to check if concerned.
