Acute watery diarrhea is most commonly seen with traveler's diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), parasite-induced diarrhea from Giardia and Cryptosporidium spp. and, in cases of food poisoning (ingestion of preformed toxins), from B. cereus and S. aureus.
Food intolerance and food allergies are also causes of watery diarrhea. People can be intolerant toward dairy, yeast, gluten, or even sugar. In addition, some people may have a food allergy toward a specific food. In those cases, the person can avoid diarrhea and other issues by avoiding the offending foods. Sometimes starting a new medication or taking a certain medication or supplement may cause diarrhea. For example, antacids and supplements containing magnesium are common culprits of watery diarrhea. Also, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, and high blood pressure medications may lead to diarrhea. Other causes of watery diarrhea include certain medical conditions.
