Normally, the food you eat remains in liquid form during most of digestion. When the unabsorbed food residue passes through your colon, most of the fluids are absorbed and what remains is a semi-solid stool.
In the case of diarrhea, the food and fluids you ingest pass too quickly, in too large an amount, or both through your colon. The fluids aren't sufficiently absorbed, and the result is a watery bowel movement. This can be caused by a variety of things from bacteria, viruses and parasites to meds, artificial sweeteners and lactose intolerance.
From what I’ve seen PGCL has this hastening impact, rather than a lower GI cleansing effect.

As for question #2, based on the info you provided I’m clueless. But if a drug could work that fast (3 days) at producing such a state it would be quite find, and the possibilities of extended administration would fascinating…I wish Jay Cutler was is my five.
