INTRODUCTION

Diarrhea, also spelled diarrhoea, is the condition of

having at least three loose or liquid bowel movement each day. It
often lasts for a few days and can result in dehydration due to fluid
loss. Signs of dehydration often begin with loss of the normal
stretchiness of the skin and irritable behaviour.
The most common cause is an infection of the intestines
due to either a virus, bacteria, or parasite; a condition known as
gastroenteritis. These infections are often acquired from food or
water that has been contaminated by stool, or directly from
another person who is infected.
