Diarrhea means having many loose stools in the course of a day, and passing a lot of stool.
If you think there may be blood in your stool, consult your doctor, and DO NOT use drugs like Imodium, Pepto-Bismol or Kaopectate as these may cause more harm than good. Also call your doctor if you feel light-headed, weak, or are urinating less than usual as these are signs of dehydration.
