Infection of bowel and food poisoning: Loose stools caused due to bowel infection are very common. Such infection of bowel occurs due to influence of bacteria or parasites etc. One of the common causes of diarrhea is viral gastroenteritis which is a condition wherein inflammation of stomach and intestine is experienced.
A common characteristic of diarrhea, loose stools may have a number of causes. For instance, the passage of loose stools often signals a bacterial infection of the gastrointestinal tract. Digestive issues such as lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance are also common causes of loose stools. In some cases, loose stools can occur as a side effect of antibiotic medications. In addition, loose stools may be caused by excessive consumption of certain substances, such as caffeine, sugar, and alcohol. For instance, high intake of fructose (a sugar found in fruit, honey, and many soft drinks and candies) is often linked to diarrhea. For some individuals, use of herbal remedies (such as senna) or medications (such as antacids containing magnesium hydroxide) may lead to the passage of loose stools.
