I think about this more often than I should.

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).

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 –

The answer is no, but the other way round: If your regular poop stays inside long enough, it produces diarrhea again. Google paradoxical diarrhea. And don’t try it at home.
