Hydration for Individuals Without a Large Intestine: Water Intake Guidelines
Someone with no large intestine should drink more water.
The large intestine is responsible for absorbing water from waste as it passes through the body. Without a large intestine, the body is unable to absorb as much water, leading to dehydration. Additionally, people without a large intestine are more likely to experience diarrhea, which can also lead to dehydration. Therefore, it is important for people with no large intestine to drink more water than the average person to stay hydrated.
