There are many different health issues that could be causing your diarrhea. Sometimes it might just be that our bodies are trying to eliminate toxic or rotting foods out of the digestive tract.
Another one of the main causes of diarrhea could be that you could be slightly food poisoned. You might not realize that you were food poisoned because it might just be a mild case. Just because you aren’t throwing up, doesn’t mean that the food you ate was not contaminated.
Another common cause of diarrhea is if you have a food intolerance. Some people might be unable to digest certain food components like lactose. Lactose is the sugar found in milk. Food intolerance can cause many other symptoms other that just diarrhea. If I drink milk, or foods containing milk (like ice cream) it will always give me gas.
Many other people have food intolerances to artificial sweeteners and food chemicals. Many people have food intolerances to foods, they don’t even realize it, and it can produce symptoms of disease throughout their lifetime if left undetected.
If you can track down which foods or substances are causing the problem, you can then eliminate them from your diet. Anything that is toxic to the body can cause diarrhea. Many people develop diarrhea after drinking too many alcoholic beverages.
Drinking water contaminated with viruses, bacteria, or parasites, causes diarrhea in many people that visit foreign countries with unclean water. Their bodies are not used to being around these impurities, so they have very little tolerance to them.
Some people can have a bad reaction to any medicines they might be taking. Antibiotics, cancer drugs, high blood pressure medications, antacids containing magnesium, and many other pharmaceutical drugs can all cause diarrhea. If you developed chronic diarrhea after starting such treatments, ask your doctor if you might be having a reaction to the medicines.
Another cause of diarrhea could be due to a malfunction of the digestive system, such as in the case of irritable bowel syndrome or bowel impaction.
Intestinal diseases can also be the cause of diarrhea. Some of these are Colitis, Crohn’s disease, Inflammatory bowel disease, and Celiac disease.
Also another one of the possible causes of diarrhea is not urinating when the urge first starts. Holding it in usually always gives me diarrhea. Your body is trying to eliminate the excess fluids, and if it can’t get out one way, it will try to get out another way.
If I still don’t go to the bathroom and hold in the diarrhea, I will usually start sweating heavily, even if I am not hot. Your body will do whatever it thinks is necessary to eliminate toxins or excess substances from the body.
The best thing you can do if you have chronic diarrhea is to change your diet to include foods that will put your body into healing mode to try and heal from whatever disease you might have. You need to find which foods or substances your body might not tolerate, and eliminate them from your diet.
You need to find what is causing your diarrhea, and fix it. Many people have reversed their health problems by changing their diet, and detoxing from toxic chemicals or rotting food residues that have accumulated in the body.
Including better food choices can return your digestive system to normal. You will want to eat more raw fruits and vegetables and their raw juices, and cut out all the junk foods, refined foods, and sodas. Someone I knew said that he always had diarrhea until he quit drinking sodas.
You will also want to keep a food journal. When you have a detailed food journal, you can look back over it after a couple weeks, months, or years. You’ll start to see patterns, and be able to figure out which foods (and combinations of foods), agree with you the most.
Look back through your journal often and notice when you were feeling the best. If you want to get healthy, you need to study the way that the foods you eat has a profound effect on the way that you feel, and your overall health. Our bodies are built from what we eat and digest. There is no way around this.
I personally have been keeping a food journal for about 7 years and it is an invaluable resource that I refer to often.
As you can see there is many possible causes of diarrhea, and the only way to figure out what is causing your diarrhea, is to do a little detective work to figure out what what the root cause is.
