'''Diarrhea''' or '''diarrhoea''' is the condition of having at least three loose or liquid bowel movements each day. It often lasts for a few days and can result in [[dehydration]] due to fluid loss. This can progress to decreased urination, loss of skin color, a fast heart rate, and a decrease in responsiveness as it becomes more severe. | '''Diarrhea''' or '''diarrhoea''' is the condition of having at least three loose or liquid bowel movements each day.

In the context of [[psychoactive substance]] usage, certain compounds have been known induce to diarrhea or can at least increase the likelihood of it occurring.
