Stomach acids make your food (already mushy from chewing) into a more liquified mess. If you are sick, the absortion of water&nutrients slows or stops therefore making you have runny diarrhea (dont mean to be nasty but that's what happens). In a nutshell, there are many places where your food turns into mush. the stomach, the small intestine and nutrients get absorbed into your large intestine.

Acids in our stomachs including bile breaks down the food into a thick liquid.

If I remember correctly it is the duodenum the first parst of the small intestine.
