Symptoms that may accompany diarrhea include vomiting, cramping, thirst, and abdominal pain.
Some people run a fever as well.
Diarrhea can exist alone or as a symptom of other problems. Foodallergies are often the cause of diarrhea. Emotional stress also can cause diarrhea. Acute diarrhea accompanied by fever and mucus or blood in the stool can be a sign of infection or the presence of parasites. This material is protected under the copyright laws of the United States.
