1. For water to be absorbed in the intestines there needs to be adequate absorption of solutes. If too great of an amount of solutes are in the intestinal lumens, water won't be absobed and diahrrea will result.
2. The person with diarrhea can stop eating and therefore the poorly absorbed solute will not be consumed. They can let it "run its course" or drink fluids to replace lost fluids.
