Altitude sickness: Nausea and vomiting occurs in many with altitude sickness. Diarrhea is less common and has not been statistically confirmed as increased, though it is reported as is loose stool and may be related to other hygiene factors,as well. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17542291 http://www.nepaltrekkinginfo.com/nepal/trekking/altitude_sickness.html
