When you have a loose bowel, the frequency of bowel movement will increase, with the texture thinned or becoming gruelly, and that accompanied with symptoms such as: belly pain, buried bowel motion, dehydration, thirstiness or fatigue. The primary cause of a case of diarrhea is ingestion of unclean or stimulant food, diet and drink included, the gastroenteric system.
