The large intestine, also called the colon. It is possible to live without it, going through 3 surgeries (you also have the option to only get the first surgery) and having an ileostomy/colostomy. When you don't have a colon, it is a good idea to drink at least 64 oz. of water each day, to keep from dehydration, as it is very easy to get dehydrated without a colon.

If you eat a full meal and drink water afterwards does the food absorb the water?

When you eat a full meal and drink water afterward, the water does not absorb the food but rather aids in digestion. Water helps break down food, making nutrients more accessible for absorption in the intestines. It can also help move food through the digestive tract. However, the food itself does not absorb water; instead, water and food are processed separately in the digestive system.


How does water impact the digestive system's function?

Water plays a crucial role in the digestive system by helping to break down food, absorb nutrients, and move waste through the body. It helps to soften food, making it easier to digest, and also aids in the process of absorbing nutrients from food. Additionally, water helps to keep the digestive system hydrated and functioning properly, preventing issues like constipation.
