Actually, the high-fat low-protein diet of the average american makes it so everyone only has constant diarrhea. There's always complaints about going into the bathroom during working hours because of the smell and the constant need to evacuate all the fat
The average American diet is excessive in protein, very slightly above recommendations regarding total fat(most aren't getting enough DHA and EPA, though), refined carbs are also excessive, and fiber is typically lacking along with complex carbs.
Most people should be fine adjusting to a high fat diet if they allow enough time for their body to get used to producing the bile necessary for digestion (this takes many months, typically.) But most people don't enjoy such a diet and a good third will do very poorly from lack of bile/indigestion (some people just have genetically poor fat digestion. Sometimes linked to low bile that doesn't respond to diet.)
If people had chronic diarrhea like you suggest they would likely suffer from severe dehydration and that could eventually become life-threatening.
I have no clue what I am talking about, this is just shitposting
Literally lmao
