Best Answer

When you are very dehydrated, your body takes in whatever water it can find. One place water is taken from is your feces. Your colon absorbs extra water from your feces and the blood transports it to another body part that needs the water more. This makes you constipated, but it is better to be constipated and survive than to die from dehydration.

When you eat very rarely, there is not enough material to make normal-sized bowel movements. If your bowel movements are too small, your rectum does not stretch enough to make you feel the need to pass stool, and you become constipated.
