Yes, “in extreme cases, over a litre per hour” of diarrhoea.

One other thing to take from this is when you read “so-and-so died of dysentry” it means “so-and-so shat themselves to death”.

E.g.

“1596: Sir Francis Drake, vice admiral, shat himself to death on 28 January 1596 whilst anchored off the coast of Portobelo.”
