The large intestine performs three main tasks: it produces and absorbs vitamins, it forms and moves excrement toward the rectum for disposal, and it absorbs water and electrolytes.
The large intestine absorbs the majority of intestinal water, although the distal part of the small intestine absorbs the majority as well.
Electrolytes are ingested by food and liquids and are expelled through sweat, urine, and feces. An electrolyte imbalance can happen if one factor in this equation is off (due to excessive sweating, diarrhea, etc.).
The large intestine's job is to eliminate any waste products that aren't completely digested as well as to absorb water and salt from the food that hasn't been eaten. The majority of digestion and absorption has already occurred by the time food mixed with digestive juices reaches your big intestine.
