If eating fat slows down digestion, how come eating a lot of it causes diarrhea?
In: Biology
Diarrhea is not so much the result of fast digestion. Its more of an “emergency flush out”. You dont digest very well if it comes out as diarrhea.
When you eat fat, your pancreas releases bile to help digest it. If you eat a huge amount of fat at once, you can give yourself pancreatitis. This is inflammation of the pancreas caused by the bile. Pancreatitis causes diarrhoea.
