What Causes Diarrhea?

Hi, I've had diareahua for about 6 weeks. There is no blood in it and I have no pain. I drink a lot of water always and am drinking more as I know you become dehydrated by it. Some days I have a run about 6 or more times a day and some less. I'm 69, 222 lbs., and in good health. I've had high blood pressure and higher colestral but I've keep both down with exercise. I do an hr. of arrobics/weight training every day.
