Consume: I can't say how long it will take. It all depends on what you've got. Give it a couple of days. Try the imodium as well as was suggested. Don't let it go on for long because you don't want to get dehydrated.

Diarrhea is a common ailment and is not typically considered serious. You mentioned starting school soon, this change may be stressing you and causing an irritable bowel syndrome.

Irritable bowel syndrome can cause diarrhea after eating. Though uncomfortable, it does not lead to any permanent damage. In addition to diarrhea after eating its other symptoms often include constipation, cramping, bloating, and abdominal pain. Treating it most often consists of diet and lifestyle changes such as avoiding foods that can cause gas and taking fiber supplements. As others have mentioned, an over the counter anti-diarrheal medication can help ease the symptoms. Be sure and stay hydrated with the proper fluids to maintain your electrolyte balance. Once the stressor is under control the problem should correct itself.

There are alleries of gluten and lactose that could also cause the problem. Hopefully your problem is just stress, but if it does not clear up soon you might want to consider asking your doctor about food allergies.

Hope I could help and good luck with school. Alice.
