Why do I crave Vinegar?

We really must insist that you stop drinking laundry bleach, Carlie.

Kidding aside, vinegar can provoke diarrhea even in normal folks. But I'd be careful to make the distinction between food provoked diarrhea and diarrhea that is inflammation related. My gastroenterologist's rule: Diarrhea one day, fine; diarrhea two days, fine, diarrhea three days, call me.
