stupid question...

[dizzyisacow]

so if everytime i eat i had diarrhea, is my body still absorbing calories?

I asked this question on one of my other health boards and they all said yes. I have nothing to back up that answer though. I hope you feel better!

Quick answer would be yes, but as your gut transit is sped up you would absorb slightly less, in the region of about 100 calories

you can't really put a figure on the reduction in calories absorbed..... all depends on what you eat, when and how bad the diarrhoea is.
