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 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.
