Vzorec užití:
[someone] has diarrhea
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes treat "diarrhea" as countable and say *"a diarrhea"* or *"many diarrheas"*; in normal use it is uncountable, so say "have diarrhea" or "some diarrhea". Spelling also causes problems: American English uses "diarrhea" and British English usually uses "diarrhoea".
Synonyma

the runs (Informal, slang-like expression; less suitable for formal or medical contexts.)
