Is it normal for a 17 year old boy to get the runs?


Rate This Answer

Acute diarrhea is usually caused by a bacterial, viral, or parasitic infection. Chronic diarrhea is usually related to a functional disorder such as irritable bowel syndrome or an intestinal disease such as Crohn’s disease. As long as diarrhea goes away on its own within 1 to 2 days, finding the cause is not usually necessary.
