Diarrhea is usually caused by the body dumping water into your intestines so I was wondering if holding it in would help with dehydration?
I currently have food poisoning so that’s why I thought of this.

Yeah, if you hold it in you will absorb more of the water. Generally, though, your body dumping stuff out of it is a defense mechanism for expelling stuff that’s probably better off left alone. Though I guess you could do and hold some enemas for the same effect without potentially retaining things your body wants to expell.
