Standard diarrhea: advice. When you ate really, surprisingly, doesn't have much affect on having diarrhea. The most common causes include viruses; contaminated food or water; medications; lactose intolerance; fructose; artificial sweeteners. Drink plenty of clear liquids; add semisolid/low fiber foods gradually (crackers, toast, eggs, rice); avoid dairy/high fat; OTC loperamide or Pepto-Bismol OK. Good wishes:)
