==Overview==
Diarrhea is a common symptom of many different disturbances of gut function. It has been estimated that the average individual living in an industrialized country has an episode of acute diarrhea every 18 months. Chronic diarrhea is less frequent; 3–5% of thepopulation may have diarrhea lasting more than 1 month in any given year.
The [[prevalence]] of [[chronic diarrhea]] is estimated to be about 300-500 per 100,000 persons. In any given year, about 3–5% of the [[population]] has [[diarrhea]] lasting more than 1 month.
