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.

    Yes, but it’s probably better to just let it go. Splurge on a pack of premium toilet paper, baby wipes, and some kind of topical cream to deal with an irritated starfish. Alternate water and gatorade. BRAT diet for 12-24 hours, then start adding chicken soup, boiled or baked potatoes.
