birth control pills and diarrhea

For the past three weeks, I have been having really loose stools. I thought it was diarrhea, but I don't feel bad or dehydrated. I have in past month started eating a really healthy, low fat, low cal, high fruits and vegetables, and plenty of water, diet.

I take monophasic birth control pills. I have read that diarrhea will lessen the effectiveness of the pills. I am afraid to have sex with my husband and get pregnant.

I guess I have two questions. What exactly is diarrhea? Regardless, are my birth control pills still effective?

My husband and I aprreciate any responses.

Thanks,

Ann
