What are you eating? Either you ate something funky, which likely would make you vomit as well. Or you have an intolerance that reached it limit and your body is trying to eliminate it and start over. I'm sorry. Digestive issues are the worst. Drink lots of water, herbal tea, and broth to keep you hydrated. And try simple foods like rice and plain chicken to get up your strength. Look into elimination diets to see what the trigger is.
When the person has other symptoms to go along with the greater number of bowel movements, there may be other causes, including the following:
Bacterial infection
C. difficile infection (which can be serious if untreated)
Viral infection
Parasitic infection, such as from worms or protozoa
Diverticulitis (the small pockets along the wall of the colon fill with stagnant fecal material and become inflamed)
Inflammatory bowel disease (a group of disorders, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, that cause irritation and swelling of the digestive tract)
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
Celiac disease (an autoimmune disease that causes sensitivity to gluten, a protein found in grains such as wheat, rye or barley)
Cancer of the colon or elsewhere in the digestive tract
Food allergies
Gallbladder problems
Lactose intolerance (the inability to digest lactose, the sugar primarily found in milk and dairy products)
Irritable bowel syndrome (a disorder of the colon or lower bowel with symptoms that include abdominal pains or cramps)
Side effects of medications (including antacids, laxatives, stool softeners)
Foods and beverages, including certain herbs and herbal teas, alcohol and caffeine
Use of antibiotics, which can upset normal bacteria in the gut
