I actually had a medical person explain it this way: Diarrhea is what happens when your body senses something really unhealthy, and so rather than absorb any of the fluids or anything else via osmosis, the whole toxic mess gets fast-tracked for immediate disposal.
Sort of a biochemical version of "Oh, hell no. Are you F kidding me?!? None of this is ok."
