Diarrhea means having loose motions. Naturally if you keep getting diarrhea, there is no chance of
gaining weight but this is MOST UNHEALTHY. If you want to lose weight and do not like exercising,
then just exercise your teeth while eating, i.e. every morsel of food you put in your mouth, should be
chewed at least 32 times and in that way the signal from hypothalamus will say enough, if you
spend at least 20 minutes eating your food. Good luck and God bless. Cheers! :o)

Vomiting is much more dangerous. Acids in the stomach help maintain body pH balance. As well,
release of these acids into regions where they are not normally present eg. in the mouth and esophagus, damages these areas. Excess acid can eat away the esophagus and tooth enamel.
Esophageal damage can also be acute, causing sudden death.

Diarrhea, on the other hand, tends to be less dangerous. However, prolonged diarrhea can cause
water loss, leading to electrolyte imbalance that can cause heart arrhythmia's, and death. Over the
years, there have been deaths from laxative use. These deaths include the use of 'natural'
laxatives, such as Senacote. People use them thinking that because they are natural, they are completely safe. However, overuse is not safe, no matter how natural. Loss of fluids and vital
minerals is still loss, no matter how natural the product is.

The safe way to control weight is diet and exercise. Excesses of any kind are detrimental to health in the long run.

my med lab background, and news reports

If the diarrhea is of the substance called poop it means it is digested so your body took the nutrients. But, if you still see all the corn, rice, beans, carrots and whatnot after it passes through the other end, you didn't digest it and it is like throwing up.

Experience. Painful, miserable, memories. Oh, the pain! Misery! Why won't it all just go away!

Darn, now I have to take a crap on John. I'll be back in a min. Late

it doesnt mean you wont gain weight , but some people use laxatives as a way to (throw up) out of the other end when it comes to weight management

its basically the same thing. Dont make yourself have diarhea with laxatives. it is dehydrating and SO bad for you
