Answer 1

You can really only hold it in for so long. It won't turn into vomit, it is already to far down in your digestive tract to make it's way back up. Holding in diarhea isn't the best thing to do, but it can't hurt you. If your body wants to get rid of it that badly, it will with or without you. I have Crohn's Disease (an intestinal problem) and I often have to hold it in before I can get to a restroom. It's painful, but it hasn't ever killed me.

Answer 2

hi,
I hope this will answer your question. When you have diarrhea your body is trying to dump out stuff that is usually bad for you.

The cause can be bacterial, or even a spicey meal that upset your bowels.
That said, the digestive system works like this. first you mechanically break the food down in your mouth, and then chemically break it down further in your stomach. (this is a super simplification) The small bowel then digest it by attacking it with bacteria so that it breaks down for absorbtion.

In the colon, or large bowel, the water is removed from the stuff, which was basically a biological soup before, to produce a solid substance.

If you the stool is watery, the body is trying to throw off something. You can take meds to stop diarrhea, as you have seen the commericals for. However if the problem is bacteria, you are keeping that inside your body which is bad.

while you have posts that say stuff in the intestine can't come up through the mouth, medically that is not right, but you'd have to keep eating to cause a back up like that, and at that point, you would be so septic that your death would soon be realized.

if you have frequent diarrhea, you need to see a medical professional. When I answer these questions, I'm aware of the legal problem I can have if I practice medicine here, as some above have done, it is a felony.

I strongly suggest if you have frequent problems like this, you see a doc. I hope it goes well for you

Answer 3

OMG, no diarrhea will not turn into vomit, but it's an interesting (really disgusting, but still interesting) concept.... Hahaha, wow this blew my mind. And when it comes to holding it in, well you can't really hold it in for too long because eventually it will come out whether you like it or not. But If you do for as long as you can you're going to get a stomach ache and some crazy cramps. Why would you want to do that anyway? It doesn't benefit you in any way. Eat some bananas and dark chocolate when you do get diarrhea. Some Imodium could help, too.

Answer 4

It will NOT turn into vomit, but your body may do that because of various reactions. By holding in your diarrhea (dr), you could hurt your intestines or bowels. The strenuous holding of the muscles could cause blood vessels to rupture (very unlikely), or cramps. If at all possible, use the restroom quickly. If not, the urge to go will eventually subside and the feeling will momentarily go away, but when it returns, it will be much worse.

Answer 5

If you hold in your 'waste', you can become septic. This means, internally you are poisoning your body and you can die. Also, you can develop a condition called colonomegaly. This is when your colon will get huge in order to accomodate all of that extra waste you are holding in. There are other condtions that are just as bad. It will not turn into vomit. Vomit comes from your stomache, the other waste has already been digested and is resting in your colon.

Answer 6

Constipation is an excessively ordinary grievance for the duration of being pregnant - I had it anything fierce, and it sucks. I did not use something, but it surely did ease up a bit of, obtained less difficult and no more painful whilst I made certain I used to be ingesting LOTS of water. Your blood quantity raises by way of as much as 60% for the duration of being pregnant, and that steals plenty of water out of your frame. Also take a look at taking fish oil tablets and consuming extra insoluble fibre. If your bowel routine are extra common and softer, ultimately this may occasionally aid.

Answer 7

If you hold your excrement in too long, you can actually poison yourself with the toxins from your poo/pee. This would probably take a LONG time though...you would just go before it got to that point, whether you meant to go or not. And no, it will not turn to vomit. It would have to travle ALLLLLLLLLL the way back up your digestive tract, which it simply isn't going to do.

Answer 8

When my son was younger a couple of hours after he ate he'd start to vomit, this went on for a few days, so I finally took him to the Dr. and was told that he had a blockage (hard poop that basically was stuck in there) Then I asked the Dr. " How would that make him vomit" the Dr. said "if he can't let it out of one end it has to come out of the other" I realize his problem was hard poop not liquid poop, but it still has to "go somewhere"

Answer 9

no your diarrhea cant go UP from your rectum all the way back up your intestines and all the way up to your mouth, its not possible there are many valves along the way and they only go down not up. as for consequences, i dont think there is any unless your holding it for days.. if your just holding it until you can get to a bathroom or until your work/school is over there shouldnt be any problems

Answer 10

I am no doc but if it is bad enough you are not going to be abkle to hold in for to long. No it will not turn to vomit that comes from the stomach I believe. I believe it is called bile by the time it is that far along
