There are many causes of diarrhea ranging from dietary intolerances ( eg lactose, gluten) to infectious causes to malabsorption to stress, inflammatory bowel disease, post obstruction and irritable bowel syndrome . Yes, some sugar substitutes such as xylitol can cause diarrhea. If it is a recurrent problem you should get evaluated.
