Diarrhea is usually caused by the body dumping water into your intestines so I was wondering if holding it in would help with dehydration?
I currently have food poisoning so that’s why I thought of this.
Your colon is very good at extracting water; if you can hold it in then yes in theory it could remove some of the water. However in reality when you have diarrhoea your colon is inflamed and irritated during and you can’t really stop it happening. You’d have to overcome the cramping and the body trying to push the contents outwards.
The most likely outcome of trying to hold it in is it gets worse and you get an explosive and even less controlled expulsion.
Having a drink?
Eventually the pressure will overcome your sphincter strength. And its fluid - it only needs a tiny tiny hole to Come out. And its going to happen much faster than you think.
yeah, don’t hold diarrhea, you will not win.
This sounds like an X-Y Problem.
I mean I’m chugging water like it’s my job but it’s just going right through me lmao

Holding it in is antithetical to the concept of diarrhea
Doctor: You’re actually even more full of shit now.
Sounds like an attempt to discover DIEarrhea. Report your findings, should you survive the experiment.
This is why I don’t believe in butt-chugging.
