Diarrhea is usually caused by the body dumping water into your intestines so I was wondering if holding it in would help with dehydration?

I currently have food poisoning so that’s why I thought of this.

        I’m no doctor, but have you eaten anything salty recently? Salt might help keep the water inside for a longer time. (pls note that this is a speculation, so do your research)

        “The solution to pollution is dilution.”

        The body has evolved methods of protecting and ridding itself of bad things. It sucks at the time, but don’t try to go against what your body is trying to fix.

        Are you getting enough electrolytes? Dilute Gatorade/Powerade with equal amount of water (1:1 ratio). It will help your body absorb and hold onto the water.

        Best of luck to you.
