When medical professionals are using the term diarrhea, they are referring to the liquid stool, which may be related to an increase in bowel frequency. It is an excess of stool water. Diarrhea is a symptom and not a disease. There are abundant diseases that are manifested as diarrhea.\nThe digestive tract (intestines and colon) absorbs 99% of the liquid ingested and secreted by your salivary glands: stomach, liver, and pancreas. On average, this is 9-10L of liquid a day. When functioning properly, the small intestines can absorb up to 10-12L of fluid, and the colon can absorb 6-8L of fluid. That’s almost 5 gallons of fluid a day – if needed! Diarrhea occurs when there is a disruption in this process.\nDiarrhea can be divided into three main categories: osmotic, secretory, and complex.\nOsmotic diarrhea\n \nOsmotic diarrhea is due to the ingestion of poorly absorbed substances: sugars, sugar alcohols, or medications. These substances will draw water into the GI tract leading to the excess of fluid in the GI tract. A very common type of osmotic diarrhea is lactose intolerance. The lactose sugar cannot be absorbed causing diarrhea. Avoiding these substances or fasting will usually resolve diarrhea.\nSecretory diarrhea\n \nSecretory diarrhea is due to the secretion of chloride or bicarbonate, or poor absorption of sodium. A very common cause of secretory diarrhea is infection. Infectious agents affect the receptors in the intestines, causing this abnormal secretion. Fasting does not affect diarrhea in this situation.\nComplex Diarrhea\nIt would be great if diarrhea was limited to pure osmotic or secretory causes, but unfortunately, the majority of causes of diarrhea are a combination of several different mechanisms. This can be caused by hormones, the immune system, and neural changes. As an example, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorptive syndromes, and pancreatic insufficiency.\nEvaluation of diarrhea can be done by your gastroenterologist. A detailed history will often yield a differential smaller diagnosis, which can further be classified by lab work, stool testing, and or endoscopic evaluation.\nFeces factoids:\nThe stool is mainly made up of water, bacteria, undigested food products, fats, and proteins.\nCommon medications that can cause diarrhea are antibiotics, PPIs (omeprazole, etc), metformin, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, Lasix, Synthroid, alcohol, and ibuprofen.\nWorrisome features of diarrhea:\nProlonged course, significant pain, weight loss, fevers or chills, bleeding, fatigue, and weakness\nAntibiotics can be used to treat diarrhea, but can also cause diarrhea like Clostridium difficile colitis.\nStool color has to do with the types of foods eaten, time of transit through the digestive tract, and the type of bacteria in the GI tract.

When medical professionals are using the term diarrhea, they are referring to the liquid stool, which may be related to an increase in bowel frequency. It is an excess of stool water. Diarrhea is a symptom and not a disease. There are abundant diseases that are manifested as diarrhea. The digestive tract (intestines and colon) absorbs 99% of the liquid ingested and secreted by your salivary glands: stomach, liver, and pancreas. On average, this is 9-10L of liquid a day. When functioning properly, the small intestines can absorb up to 10-12L of fluid, and the colon can absorb 6-8L of fluid. That’s almost 5 gallons of fluid a day – if needed! Diarrhea occurs when there is a disruption in this process. Diarrhea can be divided into three main categories: osmotic, secretory, and complex. #### Osmotic diarrhea Osmotic diarrhea is due to the ingestion of poorly absorbed substances: sugars, sugar alcohols, or medications. These substances will draw water into the GI tract leading to the excess of fluid in the GI tract. A very common type of osmotic diarrhea is lactose intolerance. The lactose sugar cannot be absorbed causing diarrhea. Avoiding these substances or fasting will usually resolve diarrhea. #### Secretory diarrhea Secretory diarrhea is due to the secretion of chloride or bicarbonate, or poor absorption of sodium. A very common cause of secretory diarrhea is infection. Infectious agents affect the receptors in the intestines, causing this abnormal secretion. Fasting does not affect diarrhea in this situation. #### Complex Diarrhea It would be great if diarrhea was limited to pure osmotic or secretory causes, but unfortunately, the majority of causes of diarrhea are a combination of several different mechanisms. This can be caused by hormones, the immune system, and neural changes. As an example, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorptive syndromes, and pancreatic insufficiency. Evaluation of diarrhea can be done by your gastroenterologist. A detailed history will often yield a differential smaller diagnosis, which can further be classified by lab work, stool testing, and or endoscopic evaluation. ### Feces factoids: - The stool is mainly made up of water, bacteria, undigested food products, fats, and proteins. - Common medications that can cause diarrhea are antibiotics, PPIs (omeprazole, etc), metformin, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, Lasix, Synthroid, alcohol, and ibuprofen. - Worrisome features of diarrhea: Prolonged course, significant pain, weight loss, fevers or chills, bleeding, fatigue, and weakness - Antibiotics can be used to treat diarrhea, but can also cause diarrhea like Clostridium difficile colitis. - Stool color has to do with the types of foods eaten, time of transit through the digestive tract, and the type of bacteria in the GI tract. Green, yellow, and brown are all normal colors. White, black, or red bloody stools are worrisome colors. If you suffer from any of the symptoms mentioned above, we want to hear from you.
