Could the Botox be to blame for the diarrhea? If so, when might I expect it to go away?

Tulsamomof2
I received Botox injections (25 units) in my forehead and brow area and am very pleased with the results. However, I have had chronic diarrhea every day since receiving the injections about 2 weeks ago. I have ruled out a stomach virus and/or food posioning. Could the Botox be to blame for the diarrhea? If so, when might I expect it to go away? Thanks!
