What Causes Diarrhea?

My 2 1/2 year old toddler has had diarrhea for about 2 days now... when he woke up this morning, stool was a very odd texture... almost like brownish/greenish raw hamburger (for lack of better way to explain it). Besides this, he seems otherwise healthy. Only issue is his poor little but getting raw. He has had another stool this same way today at nap time as described to me by his daycare provider...
