Nurse here. I’ve wiped a cumulative mile or two of stranger ass crack, so… I know a thing or two about poop.
The answer is:
If everything’s working normally, your bowels will reabsorb water until it becomes solid. They’re really good at reabsorbing water.
If everything’s working normally.
If you’ve got the Hershe’s squirts, things are not working normally. So… you’ll probably just shit your pants.
*snaps glove*
Now spread em.
I remember being told at one point, “you can hold your pee until your bladder bursts, but in the end, you will always shit your pants”.
Yes if it’s not the oily gross toxic diarrhea like you’ve been poisoned. If it’s like, nerves or something causing your intestines to liquify, yes it’ll reabsorb the liquid (and then your blood will be full of liquid that was just diarrhea, coursing through your eyeballs and tongue and brain).
Quick how do I unlearn a thing!
You don’t have to unlearn it, nothing on the internet is real
Wait what?
Is that bad for you? Dis my liver just deal with it? Literally “full of shit”?!?!
This information is a lot of knowledge that I don’t know got to deal with
No, your body does stuff like this all the time. It’s an osmotic process, if I remember right. Just water or mucous passing through the membrane of your intestines. Unless there’s something seriously wrong with you, you’re totally fine. I’d give a link, but I’m not searching Google for “poop reabsorption” with an ear infection right now. 🤢
Thanks, I hate it
I mean, this is basically how loperamide works isn’t it? It stops your bowels’ peristaltic movement giving more time to absorb the excess liquid and belatedly coming out as regular poop.
Yes, if by “normal poop” you mean “firehouse of the most horrific liquid imaginable”
Yeah that’s a pretty accurate representation of my normal shits tbh
The reason for diaheraherhae is largely caused by some sort of enterotoxin or physically by a microorganism (I forget the name, but there is a bacteria that uses its flagella to create a sort of hill out of your intestinal tract so it has better access to nutrients) and your body is using all of it’s water to flush it out. So you shouldn’t, and if you did somehow you would eventually get sepsis i guess. Better to just spend a few days in a hospital shitting in a bucket and chugging electrolytes, it’s what –
No. You can have the flying shits, then you clean up and think you’re done, go walk back to the living room, only to realize you gotta go again, but next time is a 3 foot long solid log you wish you could have evacuated a month ago.
yeah that kind of constipation is awful
Solid question.
With a painful explosive liquid answer.
I prefer using over the counter diarrhea medication, instead of trying to will my body into submission.
The longer you hold it in the worse it gets so good luck trying to hold it in.
Let them cook.
I think about this more often than I should.
No. It just becomes more horrible.
I’
Off work late?
Runny shits but too tired to poop?
Hold in three colons full of shitwater.
No corks no zippers
just hold in three colons full of shitwater
and then just go to bed
you certainly will not regret holding in three colons full of shitwater.
