The word diarrhea derived from the Greek term "to flow through," is a common manifestation of [[gastrointestinal]] disease. Its definition has traditionally been based upon the frequency, volume, and consistency of stools.

Historical Perspective

The word diarrhea derived from the Greek term "to flow through," is a common manifestation of gastrointestinal disease. Its definition has traditionally been based upon the frequency, volume, and consistency of stools. As a result of various inconsistencies in definition, the American Gastroenterological Association suggests that chronic diarrhea should be defined as a decrease in fecal consistency lasting for four or more weeks.
