A 20-year old student who recently went on
camping, suddenly developed 3 episodes of
loose bowel movement amounting to 1 cup
per episode on the morning prior to consult.
This was not associated with vomiting, fever
nor abdominal pain. Vital signs were within
normal. Physical examination revealed slightly
sunken eyeballs with dry lips and tongue with
hyperactive bowels.
