Comment on If you have diarrhea and you hold it in will your body retain some of the water?

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.
