How and why we experience constipation/diarrhea.
In: Biology
Constipation is a clogged pipe. For one reason or another your intestines are having trouble moving your waste through. Poor hydration and a low fiber diet often cause this.
Diarrhea is your body going “I don’t like what was eaten! Its bad! We need to get it out NOW!” It keeps extra water in your waste rather than absorbing it and your intestines work overtime to purge your gut of all its waste. Certain foods or food allergies will cause this depending on the person, as will various diseases that infiltrate in the gut or affect the gut, like many waterborne diseases or various food poisonings.
