Diarrhea

Diarrhea is marked by abdominal cramps and a "looseness" in one's stool. While commonly not regarded as anything serious in the United States, in developing countries, diarrhea is a leading cause of death. It is often caused from bacteria or viruses. Vomiting, nausea, and abdominal cramps are symptoms that may accompany diarrhea. If excess discharge of loose stool persists beyond three weeks, the condition is to then be taken seriously.
