Health & Support Can you absorb calories rectally? Mar 12 2009

Original Post by simwaves1:

Calories do indeed get absorbed from the rectum. The alcohol itself has calories associated with it and, if I remember correctly, the whole GI tract has the ability to absorb carbohydrates even though all of it is usually absorbed before it gets to the colon.

 

So this seems to be the best answer so far on the 'calorie' side of things.  Isn't there a doctor or nurse on the site that can confirm absorbtion along the entire GI tract?  

As for an entertaining thread, you guys are welcome Wink 

But please don't hold my future topics to such a high standard, because I assure you that I am not normally capable of producing posts that are this funny or creative.
