Defecation is the organic function which is most subject to certain shames , to many fears and to vivid fantasies that it is the physiological function located below the belt the most difficult to live in society , since the outbreak of sexual morality (and physiological ) of the XIX th century , coming from the Victorian Great Britain!
The weight of daily stool of the westerner in good health varies from 100 to 300 grams: Beyond that, one can speak of diarrhoea , except among persons subject to a diet with lots of vegetables.
Diarrhoea is due to excessive water concentration of the faecal mass, the latter containing normally 60 to 90 %. One will also note the presence of blood, of pus or fats.
We distinguish several types of diarrhoea:
During their normal functioning, the intestines re-absorb water or the different mineral salts (like table salt (NaCl) ) coming from digestive secretions. When the intestinal tract continue to produce new digestive juices instead of re-absorbing water and the mineral salts (Electrolytes), diarrhoea appears!
Many components are likely to cause these untimely secretions : Castor Oil, certain drugs (such as prostaglandins ) , bacterial toxins , etc. ..
During ingestion of magnesium sulphate or Magnesium phosphate, absorbed as anti-acids or laxatives, or in the case of lactose intolerance, the intestines are cluttered by non-absorbable and water-soluble substances: diarrhea can then occur, as well as in cases of consumption of sugar substitutes (Sorbitol , Mannitol , Etc) in « diet« bakeries and chewing -gum.
If the unabsorbed substances are important water-solubles and of low molecular weight, there will be malabsorption and the stool will be too liquid! Fatty food, never water-soluble, cannot be the origin of such type of diarrhoea.
Some factors decrease the chyme normal exposure time (or "bolus" ) allowing the absorption of food elements, they are either interventions on the stomach, the small intestine, the large bowel, the colon, or laxative medicines, given the too low contact time with the absorbent surface, transit is disrupted , with the appearance of diarrhoea
Inflammation of intestinal mucosa during the ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, lymphoma, carcinoma etc ..., leads to plasma exsudation and excessive production of mucus and blood, with increase in stool volume and defecation frequency. Then appear "tenesmus", defined by the « Garnier -Delamare Dictionary of medical terms » in the following way:
"Painful tension with burning sensation and continuous desires to go to stool or urinate , suffering at the anal level or the bladder neck"
Here again, it is the symptom's origin that needs to be sought, for diarrhoea is only a symptom. "Search the cause and the cause of cause", asked Hippocrates to his students!
After having extensively questioned his patient on his way of life, his food,his childhood, his job, his way to see the world ... , the naturotherapist will harmonize its diet food and will help himself with phyto-aromatic formulae, as :
Laboratoire AROMADENT
1°) Cinnamon tree, Clay, Fennel, blueberry: allowing the regulation of stool pace, reduction of the intestinal fermentation, bloating and flatulences, improvement of the intestinal cycle and assistance to the disintoxication of heavy metals (mercury, lead and cadmium)
2°)
Chrysantellum, Turmeric, globe antichoke: Complex exercising a
depurative action at the Liver level and of the gallbladder as well as
a facilitation of digestives phenomena
3°) Lastobacillus bacteria, Biofidobacterium, Lactobacilli acidophilus : Association of three lactic bacteria to combat chronic diarrhoea, constipation and "intestinal spasms " or alternation of these two
