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.
Sure, part of the job of your intestines is to deal with the water in your food. Espectally the large intestine, if I remember correctly. However… I wonder what your plan is to hold it in. The whole point of diarrhea is to flush everything more quickly through your intestines, and then out. That’s why it’s still wet at the end. You’ll get kind of a traffic jam at the rear end. With more incoming. And I don’t think the intestines are designed to withstand pressure. And the sphincter isn’t really meant to hold back fluids…
So no. You need to drink a lot to deal with the dehydration. In bad cases the doctor can connect you to a drip. Those will be things that have an effect.
And all of that happens with a reason. I suppose you can force the intestines to stop with the diarrhea by using some medication. But then the pathogens/viruses/whatever your body is trying to get rid of, will grow inside of you, and you’re bound to experience other issues.
This is why I don’t believe in butt-chugging.

Is this some kind of sequel or spin-off?
Holy fuck that was TWO YEARS AGO!?
I read that and I regret it. Like I have crippling horny disease too but that’s too much even for me.
Like I have crippling horny disease too …
Lol I read that and I think I regret it. What is crippling horny disease? What does it have to do with that infamous post?
It just means I’m horny as most of us are. What I meant is I understand horny makes us do things, as it made OP barely eat for 3 days for anal sex I assume. I’m not as dedicated as OP.
I don’t have any personal experience with it, but a buddy of mine who does once explained to me that unless you like it poopy then your bowels should be voided much sooner than three days ahead of anal sex.
That sounds impracticable.
I recall my friend explaining that you should avoid dairy for three days beforehand, but that there are products that can help clear you out right away if necessary.
Doctor: You’re actually even more full of shit now.

Hopefully not. Diarrhea is used to flush bacteria and poisons out of the body. I guess if the body would regain the water it could also regain the bacteria.
Just drink a lot of water and let your body do the work it needs to do.
In case you question my credentials, I’m the developer of Diarrhea 4.
I thought diarrhea was (at least sometimes) caused by too many of your gut bacteria getting killed by fever so they can’t digest solids enough to extract the water.
Thanks for that.
Most fitting game music:

That’s literally their job. There are filters, you don’t absorb waste from your colon, but water and nutrients.
The colon is the longest part of the large intestine. It receives almost completely digested food from the cecum, absorbs water and nutrients, and passes waste (stool or feces) to the rectum. The colon is divided into 4 parts: The ascending colon is the start of the colon.
Diarrhoea is often a problem with the absorption of water in the colon instead of the body “flushing water” into your digestive tract.
Like the main job of the colon is water absorption, so the digested mush turns into stool that can be deposited in the rectum for to be expelled through the anus.
If that absorption doesn’t work then it’s just coming thorough and that’s diarrhoea
Play the fartastically funny new game Diarrhea 4 (not to be confused with Disgaea 4).
This fucking killed me thank you for it.
Games a fun Lunar Lander-like but its too easy. I got up to 15 Liters of poo and just held the button down. Could be an interesting challenge if the screen didnt scroll back down and you had to get the powerups before you pass them
Yeah, I have a ton of ideas for improvements but no energy to implement them. My initial concept included aliens you’d aim your poo stream at to shoot them down.
1574m how’d I do, boss
Awesome!
Diarrhea isn’t necessarily “used” by the body in all cases. With things like rotavirus and Vibrio (cholera) it’s caused by the infectious agent and aids in its spread. It can be so severe it kills the person via dehydration.
Holy shit a poop game developed from misreading a Lemmy post this is hilarious! Reminds me of my all time favorite Sega genesis game Boogerman
Having a drink?
I have IBS and yeah, if I can successfully hold it in the urge goes away for a couple hours and a more normal BM is the result.
The challenge is knowing when its worth trying to hold it in. It’s like a 10% of the time kind of thing.
You’ll also likely need to pee more (like every 20-30min) despite not really drinking water in between restroom trips.
Holding it in is antithetical to the concept of diarrhea
In theory it would, in practice good luck holding it in if it’s really diarrhea.
Immodium/Limodil is your friend.
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.
I’m not willing to sacrifice a pair of jeans to find out.
Kilt it is then!
Have you had lot of success in your life trying to hold diarrhea?
For the most part yeah. Just don’t trust a fart.
I have a pretty decent collection of plugs; one of them oughta be enough to hold back the deluge. 🤷🏻♂️
Just remember that it’s a two-ended pipe, even if a long one.
Plug both ends. Problem solved.
Swallow the plug.
Thanks for that image…
Sadly it’s a real medical condition that leads to a really bad death if untreated.
And it’s one of the worst smells one can smell…
It’s one of these smells you can never unsmell. I hate it more than the smell of burnt human flesh. Far more.
I once white knuckled a bus ride with no option to stop for 3 hours. Probably 10+ times I was sure the wave of pain was gonna be that wave
jesus christ dude
I’m not religious but by the opening of hour three I was ready to make a deal with any deities listening
Did you make it?
I did, I had to rudely push my way to the front but luckily they stopped at a rest stop with stalls. I think it was clear why I had to do that as other riders walked into the bathroom lol
I was Celiac for most of my life without knowing it so yes I got quite good at it
Side note but fuck my doctor for just telling me it was anxiety for years and that it took seeing a random NP to actually get me tested
Butt fuck your doctor?
I’d rather not but I appreciate the offer
No,no,you misunderstood!
That is a complicated procedure that should only be performed by specialists,it’s not comparable to what you do at home.
You get prior clearance from the buttfucking department of your insurance (they are always available and really good at this and also enjoy their job a lot) and then you get an appointment for a specialist within your network to buttfuck your doctor. If your insurance is good it can be ‘Vlad the impeller’, but most people only get ‘Norman needledick’ covered, but some choose a higher copay to afford ‘Redneck Randy’ at least.
Unless of course you are one of us Eurofilthys, we all get the same ‘Pierre Puckerwrecker’ to buttfuck our doctor after waiting for three years, but at least it’s free
Yes, but it’s probably better to just let it go. Splurge on a pack of premium toilet paper, baby wipes, and some kind of topical cream to deal with an irritated starfish. Alternate water and gatorade. BRAT diet for 12-24 hours, then start adding chicken soup, boiled or baked potatoes.
Thank you for irritated starfish, made me chuckle
Not the first time I’ve been thanked for an irritated starfish… :)
