Is Diarrhoea A Side Effect Of Sertraline?

Hi, I am taking Sertraline 100mgs, recently I notice that I need to empty my bowel after any meal even after coffee at any time of the day. The stools are runny and I have no stomach pain. I wonder is this because of the medication or something I totally irrelevant to the drug? Please advise.
