Answer 1

It could be something you ate.

There are a lot of things that can cause diarrhea.

Here's a few.

Viruses. Common viruses that cause diarrhea are Norwalk virus, cytomegalovirus, viral hepatitis and the herpes simplex virus. Rotavirus is the most common cause of acute childhood diarrhea. Viral diarrhea spreads easily.

Bacteria and parasites. Contaminated food or water can transmit bacteria and parasites to your body. Parasites such as Giardia lamblia and cryptosporidium can cause diarrhea. Common bacterial causes of diarrhea include campylobacter, salmonella, shigella and Escherichia coli. Diarrhea caused by bacteria and parasites can be common when traveling in developing countries, and is often called traveler's diarrhea.

Medications. Many medications can cause diarrhea. The most common are antibiotics. Antibiotics destroy both good and bad bacteria, which can disturb the natural balance of bacteria in your intestines. This disturbance sometimes leads to an infection with bacteria called Clostridium difficile, which can also cause diarrhea.

Other causes

Lactose. A sugar found in milk and milk products, lactose is a common cause of diarrhea in some people.

Fructose. Fructose, a sugar found in many fruits, is a common cause of diarrhea, especially in children.

Artificial sweeteners. Sorbitol and mannitol, artificial sweeteners found in chewing gum and other sugar-free products, can cause diarrhea in some otherwise healthy people.

Surgery. Some people may experience diarrhea after undergoing abdominal surgery or gallbladder removal surgery.

Other digestive disorders. Chronic diarrhea has a number of other causes, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome.

  

Answer 2

You could have a virus or irritable bowel syndrome.  If it's just been going on for a few days, then it's probably a virus, which means you need to drink plenty of water to avoid getting dehydrated.  I won't tell you to go to the doctor because that's the last thing I would do because it's too expensive and I have no health insurance whatsoever.  Have you tried taking some medicine to help stop diarrhea.  It usually works for me.  Maybe it will just take some time to work itself out of your system.  Hope you get better soon.  I know it's miserable.
