What Causes Diarrhea Along With Dry Mouth?
I have had diarrhea now since Wednesday night, though its odd. I felt fine on Thursday and ate and drank like normal but then it came back on Saturday morning. I think in the last 12 hours I have had watery diarrhea about 12-15 time and vomited once. Is it gastro and will it go away on its own or do I need to go see a Dr? I havent eaten much lately and my mouth is dry and sticky :P only been having water since milo didnt sit well.

Thankyou for the Question..
Brief..diagnosis is gastroentritis and mild dehydration
Detail..from your symptoms my opinion would be that you have got gastroentritis.(Gut infection).
As you would have not replaced properly what you have lost fluid in diahrreah, you have got dehydration( dry mouth)..For that you need to have plenty of water and oral rehydration solution.Have light food for some days, and avoid hoteling and eating out..Get a stool test done, if you get fever you should visit nearby doctor..
Hope my answer would be helpfull for you..
