Teething causes diarrhea in babies and toddlers during tooth eruption.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Teething causes diarrhea in babies and toddlers during tooth eruption?

No. A 1989 review states teething does not appear to cause diarrhea, and a clinical commentary states teething and diarrhea are not usually associated and urges discouraging that belief. A meta-analysis of eruption symptoms does not confirm diarrhea as an eruption symptom, while one reference lists diarrhea among eruption symptoms without establishing causation.
