Answer : The large intestines absorbs all the foods nutrients and delivers them to parts of your body. Most importantly, the colon re-absorbs moisture/water left over and hence why when you go to the toilet, your stool isn't watery and sloppy, one hopes. If undigested food passes too quickly through the large intestines, your body won't have enough time to absorb all the nutrients and water which can lead to diarrhea, and in some cases, could become a dangerous problem. You could become dehydrated due to water loss and possibly experience some fluctuation with your weight, should this be long term. In which case, you should consult with your doctor and get a diagnosis.
