Sometimes the antibiotics used to treat a UTI can cause diarrhea.

If you're not taking antibiotics, it could be a coincidence, but if it was me, I think I'd get a doctor in just to get checked out.

Dehydration or heatstroke could cause both as well.

Try taking Imodium to stop the diarrhea, if that doesn't work, then you may need something stronger from your doctor.

Make sure you keep your intake of fluid up.

Regards

Simon.
