Help! I keep on going diarrhea constantly. What does this mean?

Starting from yesterday morning I had horrible cramps and I woke up during the night, I'm not on my '.' now.

I went diarrhea 6 times yesterday and I'm supposed to take a final exam today but I don't know if I should stay home.

Am I catching something, did I get food poisoning?

I ate everything else my family ate and they were JUST FINE.

I just went diarrhea 2 times this morning.

Update:

It is now because of stress. I am not stressed out about my finals.

    You probably have a viral or bacterial gastroenteritis. It could have been from something you ate. Have you been around anyone who has been sick with vomiting or diarrhea lately? Remember that your feces is loaded with whatever virus or bacteria is causing your problem. So, you are most likely very contagious to other people. Wash your hands well after you go to the bathroom so you don't spread your illness to others. I hope you are well enough to take your exam. If you'd like more information to help you figure out what you have, please read this website.

    How much dairy have you had? do you have a history of lactose intollerance? What are the sources of water you have drank?

    Take immodium and go to your exam. And drink plenty of fluids (except milk) to stay hydrated. Avoid dairy products.

    If you're still sick tomorrow, see your physician.
