      This is actually a survival technique if you have water than may not be quite potable to drink, you can essentially drink through your ass and not get sick

          It sounds logical to me that you wouldn’t get sick, after all your poop isn’t exactly sterile and so your colon is already shielding you from absorbing the bad stuff from it. What I question is how much hydration you’ll really gain, you definitely absorb some since some folks can get drunk by dipping a tampon in vodka and putting it up there but I dunno about water…

            As we all know, our intestinal trackt is (mainly) divided into 3 sections: stomach, small intestine and the colon. The stomach mainly breaks down the food physically and chemically. The small intestine absorbs nutrients (and breaks down the food even more) and the colon dehydrates the poop, to not waste water and to get a bit more suitable consistency. It also saves space if you dont have to store all the water.

            So you can absolutely drink water through your colon. I wouldn’t really recommend it, since theres the danger of you accidentally pushing back your stool which isn’t that good, but you can do it.

                She went in one side, got turned around, and came back out the same end. Happens to the best of us

    The colon is literally designed to reabsorb water left in the stool from digestive processes so he legit probably just drank it

    Enemas usually include things like glycerin that stop this and force the bowels to evacuate
