It was the band s first album for Nitro, a label started and co owned by Dexter Holland and Greg Kriesel of The Offspring .

It was a breakthrough release for the band, who would release three more albums on Nitro before moving to their own label Kung Fu Records in 2002.

The album cover is a drawing by Fitzgerald of a man shooting a pistol at an airplane, with the title misspelled as diarrea.

Recent research The use of cereals, rice and milk as a stop gap eating plan for stomach upset, has been validated as a more effective remedy to manage diarrhea than BRAT by recent research in hospitals in South America and Asia. citation needed date July 2010 According to John Snyder, M.D., professor of pediatrics at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics subcommittee on treating acute diarrhea quote Not only does the CRAM diet seem to ease the diarrhea symptoms faster, but the milk gives the child more complete protein and needed fat, which is lacking in the BRAT diet. Need for additional hydration Due to severe dehydration caused by both diarrhea and gastroenteritis, the CRAM eating plan should be combined with oral rehydration therapy ORT through the administration of liquids e.g. Gatorade , Pedialyte or food based fluids such as broth or gruel s to replace loss of fluids.

In addition, contact your doctor immediately if the diarrhea symptoms remain severe or if your child exhibits any symptoms of dehydration , such as dry mouth , lack of urination , listlessness , and rapid heart rate .
