What happens to body during diarrhea? Especially the water part? Normaly, the water we drink is absorbed in the body and most part of thrown removing toxic elements via urine. But, during diarrhea body losses lot of water and we become dehydrated and weak. Suppose due to some process let’s say like Osmosis the water travels thru membrane and finally transforms into another substance, blood. So, during dehydration, does this process reverse? Why do we feel weakness? Also, when body knows it’s getting weak why it is still dehydration without absorbing any water? Someone please explain whole process.

Answer: during normal digestion, your stomach fills with acid to break everything down. From here, it passes through the pyloric sphincter and enters your small intestine. The small intestine goes to work further breaking the food down into nutrients your body can use and those pass through the intestinal wall into your blood. Anything that’s leftover mixes with bile from your liver and gallbladder which then passes into your large intestine. Here, the large intestine is mostly just soaking up any unused water and lumping on waste products.
When you have diarrhea, your body has recognized the need to expel whatever is in your stomach ASAP to try and protect you. It does this by bypassing all these steps and leaving the waste as liquid so it goes through you as fast as possible.
