Welcome. My name is Divine. This is episode 512 of the Divine Intervention Podcasts. And to this podcast,

we're going to be addressing a topic called the mechanisms of diarrhea. The mechanisms of diarrhea.

And you may wonder, man, divine, why do I need to know any of these things? This is one of these things

that for whatever bizarre

reason, our friends at the NBM is these days, they love to throw questions where you clearly

know that it's diarrhea, but then they will supply a lot of answers that have to do with pathophysiology.

So I will strongly encourage you really pay attention to this podcast. This podcast, yes, I'll try to make some integrations, but honestly, my big, big, big goal is to truly help you understand the content and understand how diarrhea may be caused in these different situations. You know, I'm trusting that in the future, we will have the time to say some more things about diarrhea.

Dairy is actually a pretty high-yield topic. So that's actually something that I really hope in

the future I can make some more podcasts on as I have the time. But today, let's really try to focus

on the mechanisms of diarrhea. Again, I'm telling you, this is one of these podcasts that kind of

looks nondescript, but it's very, very high-hield for your exams. And if you're interested in any of the review courses I have for step one, two, step three, that are going to be taking place over Zoom that starts tomorrow. You can shoot me an email through the website, or you can also listen to the podcast I made on on the topic and I can give you some more information.

Okay, let's get into it.

So, well, we all know what diarrhea is.

Basically, right?

Believe it or not, they are formal definitions of diarrhea.

But essentially, in clinical practice, if a person is having a lot of loose tools every day,

if they have like three or more loose tools every day, in fact, I'll say like more than

three, then in that circumstance, you want to think about diarrhea, right? For a person who has more than three low stoves per day, we don't think about diarrhea. Some people kind of try to measure it that, ooh, if you make more than 200 grams of stew, that's kind of ridiculous. But basically, Dairy is diarrhea. I think it's something

can pretty easily recognize.

You know, many of us we don't think too much about diarrhea. We're like, uh, whatever. Who cares? There's a restroom somewhere that can go and unload on and it's not a big deal. But I kid you not, many people die of diarrhea every year, especially in developing countries, you know, and me being from a developing country, I can tell you for a fact, a lot of people die from diarrhea every year, especially in developing countries. You know, and me being from a developing

country can tell you for a fact, a lot of people die from diarrhea every single year. A lot of people die

from diarrhea every single year. So let's try to understand what are the different pathways that may
