Why do we lose water when we have diarrhoea and we must drink plenty of water?

Basically add the water lost through diarrhoea to the water lost through normal peeing and that's more water lost than usual therefore it needs to be replaced. When you pee it's perfectly normal therefore your body can handle the amount of water lost but diarrhoea isn't part of your body's normal digestion process therefore it's excess water that's lost.\n\nWhat happens when you get diarrhoea is your body has some sort of virus or bug or just something that it does't like therefore the digestive system (which is the system that gets rids of wastes and your body's toxins) will work faster than normal to get rid of that substance. Usually when digested food gets to the large intestine (the part right before your anus which is where the poo comes out) it absorbs any excess water and produces "normal consistency" poo. However because your entire digestive system is working faster than usual the digested food just kinda "zooms" through the large intestine without time for it to absorb the water therefore it comes out more "watery" than usual. Because this water was not absorbed into your body when it should have been, you will be lacking water which is why you need to drink plenty of water to replace it. \n\nHmm... does that make sense? Lol.

Excessive water intake is called psychogenic diabetes insipidis.  The only real problem is you will have to pee a whole lot, and you could make your blood hypotonic or even cause dumping syndrome in your intestines.

a lot of times we gain weight from not drinking enough water. When we aren't getting enough water as a defense, our bodies start to retain water. When you drink water or take water pills the body flushes out the water that your body retains and properly uses the water that we drink. \n\nWeights for your arms. Crunches for your tummy. Maybe you might want to invest in a trampoline or a big excercise ball those help with your thighs and your legs. \n\nYou just have to keep up on it, don't start a new routine and then stop that is a bad mistake.

Because you're body is still dehydrated.  The only fluid that truly hydrates the body is water.  All other beverages are digested through the digestive system as though they were a food - just learned this after being in the hospital with dehydration from seizures and stroke occuring at the same time - I now have to drink 120 ozs of water a day or my body feels sluggish and undernourished - if I drink another beverage - I have found it is usually unsatisfying as far as quinching thirst.  If your water is from your tap it may have a chemical in it you're reacting to - so I would suggest bottled water.

Drink lots of water.  By the way, salt is a natural expectorant as well as a natural antihistamine. Histamine is the body's response to dehydration since the role of histamine is to act as the master conductor of water management during dehydration.

It depends on how much water you drank during the course of the day. The healthiest numbers as doctors say is 4-6 for well hydrated people but of course everyones water needs are different. Like If you do sports like football or baseball you need a lot of water but if you do swimming you don't because the water is all around you (even though you don't drink it because of chlorine and other chemicals).

you drink that much because your body is telling you to drink.  maybe you just get dehydrated easily.  regardless, you can never drink too much water.

That means you're not hydrated enough.  Drink more water.

No it is not bad. In fact a grown up male should take a minimum of 3 litres of water or other fluids per day. It can be more than this but not less. read -\n\nHow much water do you need?\nEvery day you lose water through your breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.\n\nA couple of approaches attempt to approximate water needs for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate.\n\nReplacement approach. The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids. \nDietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day-.

there is a lot of sodium on them so you will retain water and feel bloated. also you will be hungray again soon because you haven't eaten any protein or complex carbs.

I don't think so. While eating fruit and veggies is good for you, too much can cause diarrhea. Definately include more fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. Also, make sure you are drinking at LEAST two eight ounce glasses of water (not juice, soda, hi-c) a day. It will help keep you hydrated and flush out impurities. Add walking every day for a half hour to get your blood pumping helps too!

You'll only lose water, so there will be an initial drastic loss, but once you drink water, your body will absorb it again and the weight will come back.  If you don't replenish the fluids, you risk damaging your liver and kidneys along with a constant thirst.  It's not a healthy or lasting diet alternative.

Yes it does.  When you first start drinking water you will lose your water weight and if you keep drinking lots of water than you body will realize that it won't need to store water anymore and you won't get water weight.\nPlus if you are working out you NEED to drinks LOTS of water because your muscles get dehydrated

water volume in your cells and thereby your tissues is at a higher than normal level.  so rather than the excess water leaving your body through urine, you are retaining it.  lack of adh can cause this, so can high salt intake etc.
