What is the result of the peristaltic rush in the small intestine?

The peristaltic rush in the small intestine is a rapid, wave-like contraction of the intestinal muscles that propels contents through the digestive tract. This phenomenon can occur in response to irritation or excessive stretching of the intestinal wall, often leading to diarrhea. The result is a quick movement of intestinal contents, which may prevent proper absorption of nutrients and fluids. Ultimately, it can disrupt normal digestive processes and lead to dehydration if persistent.
