The consequensenses are that your body does not have the time to absorb the nutrients and water that your organs need to function properly. Think about times when you have had diarrhea, your doctor should tell you that you need to drink a LOT of water so that you don't get dehyrated, because if you get dehydrated, then your ilness or bout of diahrrea will only get worse and irritate other orgrans in you body - altogether leading to fatigue.
