The repetition of loose and primarily watery
stools is the most prominent indicator of Diarrhea.The
following explains the kinds and causes of chronic diarrhea:
Inflammatory diarrhea
Infections such as Bacterial
, viral , parasitic or autoimmune
problems such as inflammatory bowel diseases, tuberculosis, colon cancer, and
enteritis all can cause inflammatory Diarrhea. The characteristics are heavy loss
of protein-rich fluids and a decreased ability to absorb these lost fluids.
Secretory diarrhea
When the digestive systems fails to absorb the secreted
water and fluid before it enters the small and large intestine then an abnormal
loss of water is discharged through bowels. This is called Secretory diarrhea .
The diarrhea is watery, excessive, painless and persistent. Common causes are
drugs or toxins; both arsenic poisoning and chronic alcohol maybe the root
cause.
Osmotic diarrhea
Osmotic diarrhea commonly results when something ingested draws water into the intestines. Maldigestion of nutrients, sugar malabsorption, osmotic laxatives or even side-effects of medicines can be the basis.
Fatty diarrhea
The malabsorption of fats is termed as
Fatty Diarrhea, affiliated with weight loss. This diarrhea can be a direct
result of alcohol consumption.
Mortality related diarrhea
Our consumed food needs time for the
nutrients and water to be absorbed and in mortitly related diarrhea sufficient
time is not given as the food moves too fast.

- A rare cause is the indication of more serious diseases (such as cystic fibrosis or immune disorders such as HIV infection).
- Idiopathic diarrhea is a when the cause is unknown.
As you see there are many possible causes of chronic diarrhea. Remember that any
diarrhea lasting for more than four weeks is a matter of concern.
