General & Family Physician,  's  Response
In most cases when a child starts teething, diarrhea is usually followed after. This causes the parents to believe that the two incidents are directly related to one another. But the reason for this is that babies usually crawl around and take in unwanted germs that upset their stomachs. This condition is not uncommon in teething babies. The causes of this, however, can vary from a change in diet, increased drool or taking in germs through the things that they put in their mouths.
