No, if anything, some people complain of constipation. However, there are
"low carb" foods with sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols are like a massive
laxative. The are often found in low carb and low sugar candy or bars.

Otherwise, you may want to look at conventional causes like food poisoning,
or a virus.
