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)

      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.
