How is diarrhea bad for you?

Question:

Doesn't having diarrhea clean out your colon? Isn't that a good thing? Anyways, I asked this question because I have diarrhea from eating jelly that expired. I didn't realize it expired until after I ate the PBandJ. I didn't even look nor taste like something was wrong with it. My mom just happened to tell me that we had some jelly that expired about 10 min after I ate the sandwich. Anyways, I like the way I feel even though I have diarrhea. I feel more refreshed. I want to know what harm could come out of having diarrhea? It's actually making me feel better as if all the toxins are being flushed out of me. And it's not that bad. It's not like I'm going every 10 mins. I usually go once a day, but yestday I went like 3 times. Is this a good thing, or is it bad?

Answers:
your body is just getting rid of all the bad stuff that made your stomach sick so it is just doing its job and of course if feels good hahaha... It is not bad, but for people with constant diarrhea or people who use "diarrhea pills" have a problem because diarrhea gets rid of all of the stuff..good and bad. so it gets rid of a lot of your good vitamins and minerals and leaves your body dehydrated and all that jazz.

when you have diarrhea your body can become dehydrated if it's not corrected. Dhydration can cause my nutrional and physical problems

becuz it burns your asshole

Its bad. Each time you go you lose a lot of water, and it will quickly dehydrate you.

u might accidentally poo out your liver

Because it eventually starts to dehydrate you and throw your electrolytes out of balance. You need electrolytes in balance for muscle contraction- including contractions of the heart.

having diarrhea is not bad if it is not a long time thing I mean it can dehydrate you if continues but I dont think you have anything to worry about at this point.

Diarrhea your body's reaction to something. This is of course, a bad reaction. The diarrhea generally isn't bad in itself, it's just a sign that something's not working properly in your body.

Generally your body wants to get rid of bacteria or other unwanted substances from your body, so perhaps you going to the washroom more often was a direct result.

Unless you start having to go so much your insides ache like crazy, it shouldn't be a big issue. If you do have diarrhea every 30 minutes or so though, you should definately go to the hospital and have it checked out.
