Pattarisara Suvichanarakul / Getty Images Paradoxical diarrhea, or overflow diarrhea, is when you have constipation and diarrhea at the same time. It happens when watery stool leaks around a fecal impaction (hardened piece of stool stuck in the colon). Paradoxical diarrhea often occurs when you have been experiencing constipation for a while. You may also have symptoms like stomach pain and bloody stool. Treatment methods focus on alleviating constipation and restoring normal bowel movements.
