Does the COVID vaccine cause diarrhea?

I am a 17 year old female. I got a COVID vaccine 2 days ago. Since then I have diarrhea. Does the COVID vaccine cause diarrhea?

Common side effects from COVID vaccine include: a sore arm or pain & redness at the site of injection, headache, chills or fever,
fatigue, body aches or a feeling of being run down, nausea, & vomiting or diarrhea during the first 72 hours. I wish you well with your health!
The vaccine seems to cause a lot of flu like symptoms in some people, though diarrhea is not a common reaction.
