The large intestine has, as its major function, the removal of water from the digestive tract at the end of the digestive process. (The small intestine is the primary absorber of nutrients from out of the digested material.) Without a large intestine, you'd have a much more liquid bowel emission. And you'd need to drink more water, too. It's not the best deal in the world, but it is something that can be lived with and just requires "management" on the part of an individual who has, due to accident or disease, lost the large or a large portion of the large intestine. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the large intestine.
Blockage of the ileocecal valve would prevent the chyme (partially digested food) from passing from the small intestine to the large intestine, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and potentially causing a bowel obstruction.
When the large intestine is removed (total colectomy), the surgeon may create an ileostomy or colostomy to redirect stool to a stoma on the abdomen. This pouch collects waste, and the individual will need to wear a bag to collect the stool. Without the large intestine, digestion and absorption of water and nutrients may be affected, leading to changes in bowel movements and dietary requirements.
In a medical context, the intestines are commonly referred to as the gastrointestinal tract or GI tract. This includes the small intestine and the large intestine, which play a key role in digestion and nutrient absorption.
Nutrients are absorbed into the blood primarily in the small intestine. This is facilitated by the small intestine's large surface area, thanks to the presence of villi and microvilli, which aid in nutrient absorption into the bloodstream.
Water in the undigested food will not be absorbed and the undigested food will be watery
You would know, because your p**p comes from your large intestine. You have muscles to push it out.

Under the assumption the intestines would give the same amount of work per cm of length as the ones you have do... If the two intestines were as long as the large intestine currently is, you'd have to eat a lot more than you do now to get proper nutrition. The small intestine pulls nutrients out of the food, and the longer it has to work, the more it can get. If the two intestines were as long as the small intestine currently is, your stool would be excruciatingly dry. The large intestine draws water from the stool, and if it was over four times longer than it now is, you'd really be in trouble.

So what if people never farted? Gas Would Build Up Internally Your intestines would swell from trapped gas. You’d feel bloating, pain, and cramping. In extreme cases: severe discomfort, difficulty breathing, and even pressure on internal organs. Burping Alone Wouldn't Fix It Burping only removes gas from the upper GI tract (like swallowed air), not the intestinal gas created by bacteria. No farting = no outlet for that lower gas. Risk of Medical Complications If someone couldn’t fart or release gas in any way, over time it could lead to: Intestinal obstruction Distention of the colon A rare but serious condition called bowel perforation (a tear in the intestine) Gut Health Would Suffer Farting is a sign your gut bacteria are doing their job digesting fiber and carbs. No farts might mean: Poor digestion A disrupted microbiome Risk of nutrient absorption issues Bottom Line: Farting is normal, healthy, and necessary. It might be embarrassing, but if we didn’t do it — the consequences would be painful and dangerous.
