A member asked:

What's the difference between diarrhea and food poisoning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptom vs. cause: Diarrhea is one of the symptoms of food poisoning. Food poisoning is one of the common causes of diarrhea (stomach flu viruses are another). Diarrhea is watery stools or frequent looser stools. Food poisoning can cause vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and less commonly other symptoms. Food poisoning is most often due to bacteria overgrowth in food, with or without strong toxins produced by the bacteria.
