Nutrition Tip

Diarrhea

Diarrhea may have several causes, including radiation, chemotherapy, infection, food sensitivities, and emotional upset. During the diarrhea, food passes quickly through the bowel before your body has a chance to absorb enough vitamins, minerals, and fluid. As a result, diarrhea causes an excess loss of fluids and nutrients, and can lead to dehydration. read more
