    Yes if it’s not the oily gross toxic diarrhea like you’ve been poisoned. If it’s like, nerves or something causing your intestines to liquify, yes it’ll reabsorb the liquid (and then your blood will be full of liquid that was just diarrhea, coursing through your eyeballs and tongue and brain).

        Technically you always taste the contents of your bowels, you just aren’t conscious of it.

        Your digestive system has tastebuds all up and down it, just like your tongue. Unlike your tongue, they very thankfully aren’t hooked into sensory processing parts of the brain. Instead, they are used to help determine everything’s good. If they detect something is off, bacteria byproducts, spoilage, etc, they cause the purges to happen (vomiting or diarrhea depending where in the digestive process it is, sometimes both!!)

        But thats basically why you can sometimes feel very spicy food move through and burn along the way.

        No, your body does stuff like this all the time. It’s an osmotic process, if I remember right. Just water or mucous passing through the membrane of your intestines. Unless there’s something seriously wrong with you, you’re totally fine. I’d give a link, but I’m not searching Google for “poop reabsorption” with an ear infection right now. 🤢
