I don’t have a large bowel can I absorb still absorb enough SN to be able to CTB

I read here that SN is mainly absorbed by the small bowel. If I take a larger dose like 4 cups or 100g could it still be effective.

If you do not have a large bowel but still have your small intestine, then yes you should still be able to absorb a lethal dose of SN. There is no need to increase the dose to 100g or 4 cups because that could increase the risk of vomiting, gastric rupture, or suffering due to the body's natural rejection reflexes. The large bowel is mainly responsible for water absorption and processing waste, so its removal typically does not impact SN absorption as long as the small intestine is intact.

Not sure this is even a serious post, but...........first, you can't take that much. Your body will reject it instantaneously and expel it. Does the food you eat get adequately processed and absorbed into your system and does it provide the needed sustenance of vitamins and minerals your body needs? If the answer is yes, then your small intestine seems to work just fine.

I am serious but you're probably right I'd probably end up vomiting up all the extra SN.

Most of what the large intestine does is remove water from your waste. It doesn't absorb chemicals or nutrients, you're fine because you have a stomach and small intestine.
