Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Stress can make intestines resistance to bacterial infection weaker. Food poisoning is also possible. Please note that every diarrhea which lasts longer than 48 hours should be checked with stool tests.
Most likely your diarrhea is nothing serious, nothing to worry about so try to manage your stress.
You should also try BRAT diet (banana, rice, apple sauce, toast).
Depending of the stool tests, antibiotics might be necessary.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
