But recently same thing happen to me. I had also non stop liquid diarrhea. I did some research. Diarrhea is essentially caused by an imbalance or failure in the movement of the bowels, the secretion of feces or the absorption of water.

Diarrhea is defined as loose bowel movements with or without vomiting. Acute diarrhea is usually sudden in onset and lasts for only a limited time. This is usually called gastroenteritis and is caused by several pathogens leading to infection of the gastrointestinal tract. The pathogens causing acute diarrhea may include several bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
