Hi Nancy,

It sounds to me like your husband may have had food poisoning or something of that nature. Does he recall if he's been eating something that could've triggered the diarrhea in the first place?

Other questions I would ask, is if your husband has been on any sort of detox supplement, laxative, or otherwise eating a lot of citrus fruits that promote loose stools.

From my perspective as a future dietitian; one things for sure, whatever food was built up in his digestive tract was ready to be pushed out. It would make sense that he was probably constipated or bloated for a number of days prior to having 3 weeks of consistent diarrhea. It all comes down to whatever he put in his body over a period of time that eventually accumulated up to this point. I would highly recommend that he includes an abundant amount of fruits and vegetables in his diet, to help heal his digestive tract.

I hope this helps!
