Cleaning

If we treat the stomach at home, then the first thing to do is to clean it. For this, special diets have been developed. The most effective of them is eggplant.

We exclude dairy products and bakery products from the diet. We eat only vegetables, among which 75% should be eggplant. You can eat boiled, stewed eggplant. Drinking 30 minutes before and after meals is prohibited.

Salt is not allowed. To improve the taste, you can use only herbal seasonings. Eat eggplant dishes at least three times a day, chewing thoroughly. In the process of cleansing the stomach with eggplant, you can drink only herbal or black tea without sugar.

No additional preparation is needed before starting a gastric cleanse. You can start at any time. But, it is worth remembering - the period of eggplant cleaning should not exceed two weeks.

Restoration and normalization of the stomach

Treatment of the gastric mucosa must necessarily be accompanied by the restoration of its normal functions. This process is long and labor intensive. Sometimes it takes several months, depending on the neglect of the disease.

If the doctor treating the stomach finds you have a common disorder, then it can be eliminated in just a couple of hours, in extreme cases - days. But, if you need a complete restoration of the stomach, treatment of reflux or gastric hyperplasia, you should tune in to the fact that this is a lengthy process.

During recovery, it is necessary to completely abandon nicotine and the use of alcoholic beverages, since it is impossible to cure the stomach without getting rid of bad habits. They deliver dangerous toxins to the stomach, which negatively affect the general condition of the mucosa.

We follow the right diet

Treatment of the stomach (heartburn, gastritis) should be accompanied by a proper diet. The first thing to learn is to study the list of foods that are prohibited during exacerbation of stomach diseases - treatment begins precisely with their exclusion from the diet.

As a rule, these are additives that irritate the mucous membrane, lead to increased pain and exacerbation of stomach diseases:

• mustard;
• pepper;
• ginger;
• all hot spices;
• flavors;
• thickeners.

Food must be chewed thoroughly. You can not eat only "dry food", soups must be present in the diet. Spices and smoked meats should not be eaten because they irritate the gastric mucosa.

If bacteria are found in the stomach (helicobacter, etc.), treatment should also be accompanied by a proper diet. With a normal balanced diet, mucus in the stomach will be produced in small quantities, which will positively affect its condition.

sparing diet

Treatment with characteristic symptoms may be accompanied by a sparing diet, which most often helps to cure gastritis and disorders. The most important thing in such a diet is not what exactly you eat, but how you cook it.

For example, treatment for a disease of the operated stomach can be carried out in conjunction with a diet in which fried foods are prohibited. "Sparing" option - boiled and baked dishes. You can also eat food cooked in a double boiler.

Pickled foods are better not to eat at all. They, like spices, irritate the mucous membrane, which, with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, is already in an irritated state.

Try not to eat exclusively "dry food". Soups and liquid cereals should be present in the daily diet. Dry food is another irritant for the mucosa.

The best option for therapy is the treatment of the stomach in a sanatorium. The patient receives not only medication, but also eats in strict accordance with the diet prescribed by the doctor.

Treatment of the stomach consists of drug therapy and diet, which work in combination. Medicines eliminate the cause of the disease, and proper, sparing nutrition helps the body recover.

Effective treatment of the gastrointestinal tract

He is undoubtedly right, since health is like air, you don’t seem to notice it, but it’s impossible to live without it.
Unfortunately, recently, not only in our country, but throughout the world, there has been a tendency towards an increase in the incidence of diseases. According to scientists, the reasons for this are malnutrition, constant stress, the presence of environmental problems and the high content of harmful substances in the environment.
The digestive system performs very important functions in our body. Without it, life would be impossible, because it is due to the processes of digestion and absorption of food that a person receives energy, both for work and for rest. And the stomach and intestines are the main organs of digestion, since it is with their activity that the initial and final stages of food processing are associated, so it is very important that the gastrointestinal tract be healthy and not let us down at the most crucial moment.

Effective methods of treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

This article is devoted to the description of the most common diseases of the stomach and intestines. You will learn about what are the signs of trouble in the digestive tract, as well as what methods of their treatment are used at home. Of course, sometimes it is impossible to do without medicines, but herbal infusions, medicinal plants, clay, honey and gymnastics will serve as an effective addition to the therapy prescribed by the doctor. This article also provides recommendations on dietary nutrition, which is necessary not only for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, but also for their prevention.

The digestive system is very sensitive: it reacts to the smallest changes in the external world and the internal environment of the body. Despite the fact that this book is a popular science publication, quite a lot of attention is paid to practical recommendations aimed at restoring and improving the stomach and intestines.
Diseases of the stomach, duodenum and intestines
In recent years, the number of cases of diseases of the stomach and duodenum has increased markedly (SI) not only in Russia, but throughout the world). In our time, it is difficult to find at least one person who would be spared problems with the digestive tract. This is not surprising if we consider the regime of the average city dweller. You have to get up early to avoid being late for work, but most of us prefer to lie down for a few extra minutes in a comfortable bed, instead of getting up and preparing a normal breakfast. As a result, we snack on a sandwich on the go or generally limit ourselves to a cup of coffee. However, it has long been known that the morning meal is fundamental to digestion throughout the day. That is why it cannot be missed.
Well, if at work during the day there is at least some opportunity to eat. Usually a full meal is out of the question. The afternoon snack is also usually skipped, although nutritionists believe that it is important not only for young children, but also for adults. Naturally, in the evening, having come home, we immediately rush to the refrigerator and eat up, although we know that overeating at night is very harmful. After all, the body should go to sleep not in a state of overload from abundant food at dinner, but on a half-empty stomach. In this regard, dinner should be at least 2 hours before bedtime. In this case, the food should not be heavy, it is best to eat an apple, low-fat yogurt, kefir or vegetable salad in vegetable oil.
In addition, fast food establishments have become widespread in recent years. They are cheap and quick to eat. Naturally, such food cannot be called complete food. It is all these hamburgers, buns, fried pies, noodles and instant soups that most harm our body (primarily the stomach and intestines). Anyone who has been “sitting” on such a diet for a long time soon notices that he has problems with digestion, abdominal pain, heartburn, heaviness in the hypochondrium, belching, constipation and increasing weight. Then visits to doctors, unpleasant procedures and disappointing diagnoses begin.
That is why proper nutrition is the key to health and longevity. In the diet of a modern person, there are almost all the components he needs. Our food industry has learned to enrich products with essential substances: microelements and vitamins. But one thing is still not enough in them - fiber. A modern urban dweller consumes little fresh vegetables, berries and fruits, which are a rich source of fiber, so necessary for the body. All harmful compounds that come from unwanted products and are formed in the body itself in the process of metabolism settle on the surface of plant fibers. Fiber helps normal digestion and bowel function, as it activates its peristalsis.
Stress also has a devastating effect on the digestive system. We are constantly in a hurry somewhere, nervous and annoyed. As a result, chronic stress develops, which many modern scientists consider the culprit of diseases such as ulcers, migraines and high blood pressure. It has been proven that people who bear even minimal responsibility at work suffer from constant or intermittent stressful situations. Such a picture gradually flows into a painful state.
The activity of the digestive system, like a mirror, reflects our attitude to the environment and the current situation. If a person is satisfied with life, he has no problems, and the digestive system works like clockwork, imperceptibly to the whole organism. When the situation becomes negative, then there are malfunctions in the work of the stomach and intestines. If the stressful situation does not go away, these disorders turn from short-term into persistent disorders that require close attention and long-term treatment.
The main symptoms of diseases of the stomach Pain
In medical practice, the most common complaint indicated by patients suffering from diseases of the stomach and intestines is abdominal pain. You should know that it appears not only in diseases of the digestive system. Usually this is a universal reaction of the body to disturbances in it. It is known that pain in the abdomen occurs in a variety of diseases. In this regard, it is necessary to know exactly the nature of the various types of pain in order to correctly diagnose. Surprisingly, this kind of sensation in the abdomen can be noted even with brain damage or a heart attack.
Pain in diseases of the stomach occurs very often. Usually, discomfort is noted in the upper abdomen, that is, in the epigastric region. Doctors call the place of localization of stomach pain epigastrium, this term has been used in medicine for a long time. In diseases of the stomach, their nature can be very different, they can be very intense or quite weak. Slight pain usually disturbs patients with reduced production of gastric juice. Sometimes they don’t even look like pain, but are expressed rather by a feeling of discomfort and heaviness below the sternum. They usually have an indefinite localization, a person cannot accurately indicate the place where he has pain. They can occur at any time of the day and are not at all associated with eating. Often the pain is accompanied by a decrease or even complete loss of appetite, belching rotten and a tendency to diarrhea.

If the production of gastric juice is very active (with a stomach ulcer or gastritis with increased secretory activity), a completely different picture arises. The pain in the pancreas is so intense that a person sometimes goes to bed or applies a heating pad to the stomach. You should know that with a stomach ulcer, the patient can quite accurately indicate where it hurts (that is, the symptom of "pointing finger"), which never happens with ordinary gastritis. Usually the patient can clearly relate the occurrence of pain and the time of eating. It is noticed that the stomach begins to hurt most often already during a meal or within minutes after it. In addition, so-called hunger pains may occur, which most often occurs at night when the stomach is empty. In this case, the patient wakes up and goes to the kitchen to eat something or drink warm milk, as this usually helps to relieve pain.
In diseases of the small intestine, abdominal pain is also a common symptom. As a rule, it is localized only near the navel or in the middle sections of the abdomen. Pain is not sharp, cutting or stabbing. They are always bursting or blunt and are associated with the accumulation of intestinal gases. Such pains are most often provoked by the intake of any food that the patient cannot tolerate and from which he has an upset stool. They occur 2-3 hours after eating, when it has already entered the intestines and began to be digested. Such pain is often accompanied by bloating, flatulence and transfusion in the lower abdomen.
Inflammation in the colon, such as chronic colitis, can also cause abdominal pain. Pain is localized in the lower abdomen or its lateral sections (most often on the left). When inflammation develops in the transverse colon, discomfort can also occur in its upper sections. At the same time, difficulties arise in distinguishing them from pain in diseases of the small intestine and stomach.

In the case of chronic colitis, the pain is cramping, they are also called intestinal colic. A person usually feels a tight knot in the stomach, which then twists (Ca, which leads to intense pain), then relaxes a little. Such an attack may be accompanied by nausea, and sometimes vomiting. Colic is provoked by the intake of food that activates increased gas formation: legumes, cabbage, milk and black bread. Patients suffering from chronic colitis are well aware of the properties of these products and try not to use them. The patient's condition with intestinal colic is relieved after passing gases or stools, taking antispasmodic drugs that relax the intestinal wall, or applying a warm heating pad. Tenesmus, that is, accompanied by pain, the urge to defecate, which may not end with the discharge of feces, is also similar to intestinal colic. Pain usually occurs in the lower abdomen or perineum. This condition occurs in irritable bowel syndrome and intestinal infections.
With hemorrhoids, the patient may also be disturbed by pain
sensations, although in this case they are not the main symptom. They join the main symptoms of the disease with the development of inflammation of the rectum, the appearance of cracks or thrombosis of hemorrhoids. In this case, the pain is exactly connected with the act of defecation, it occurs during it and continues for some time. With a fissure of the anus, the pain is so severe, burning and cutting, that sometimes the patient faints after passing the stool. For this reason, patients forcibly retain feces, which leads to constant constipation, and this only complicates the situation. The pains extend deeper into the rectum, sacrum and perineum.
Heartburn

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest along the esophagus.
For example, if a person is asked if he has ever had heartburn, and he asks what it is, we can safely conclude that he never had it. Since it is impossible to forget such an unpleasant feeling, having experienced it at least once.
As well as belching, heartburn occurs when the esophageal sphincter is weak, but it manifests itself only against the background of very high gastric secretion. Acidic gastric contents can enter the esophagus at different heights, for this reason, heartburn can also be felt in different ways. Often a burning sensation is noted only behind the sternum, but sometimes the acidic contents are thrown into the mouth. People suffering from heartburn immediately try to stop this condition. This happens with stomach ulcers or gastritis.
Belching
Belching is a very common symptom
diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. However, it can also occur in apparently healthy people, for example, after drinking carbonated drinks, radishes or radishes. Belching can be air with the so-called aerophagy, when a person swallows a large amount of food while eating. This condition is characteristic of people with a fine nervous organization, unbalanced and sensitive, although sometimes just people who like to talk at dinner suffer from this, but most often the reasons are neurogenic.
the patient may belch with eaten food or with a sour taste. This happens when there is insufficient function of the esophageal pulp, which separates the esophagus from the stomach. This condition can be independent, but most often it is combined with chronic diseases of the stomach. Sour belching usually indicates excess secretion of gastric juice.

A bitter eructation indicates that bile enters the stomach, and then into the oral cavity. This is often found in diseases of the large digestive glands, such as the pancreas and liver, usually with cholecystitis. Since these conditions are almost always combined, this sign can also be considered a symptom of a stomach lesion.
Nausea and vomiting
They are constant companions of gastrointestinal diseases. In a similar way, the body signals about problems and tries to get rid of unpleasant sensations. Most often, these conditions appear with diseases of the stomach.
With gastritis with reduced gastric secretion, patients are most often worried about the feeling of nausea, but there is almost no vomiting. This condition is quite painful, it does not depend on the nature of the food, but is aggravated after eating it. Usually patients try to eat as little as possible, which is why they lose a lot of weight. Nausea is especially common in those patients who, in addition to gastritis, have some other disease of the digestive tract (cholecystitis or chronic pancreatitis).
Vomiting often occurs in those patients who have increased secretion of gastric juice or have a stomach ulcer. Its occurrence is often associated with the fact that excess acid irritates the mucous membrane, and the stomach, in turn, tries to get rid of the contents in a natural way - with the help of vomiting.
With peptic ulcer, vomiting of food eaten with a sour smell takes place, especially often it happens at the height of an attack of pain. Often, patients specifically call for it. Since at the same time the acidic contents of the stomach come out, and the attack is stopped, the patient feels relief. Please note that nausea and vomiting may

occur in bowel disease. However, these are not common symptoms. They indicate an exacerbation of the disease or its unfavorable course. So, there is almost no nausea with an ulcer, but there is almost always vomiting.
gastric dyspepsia
Gastric dyspepsia is characterized by heaviness in the stomach (especially after eating), an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth, decreased appetite, nausea and belching (most often in the morning), rumbling and transfusion in the abdomen. This syndrome is quite diverse. It is mainly expressed in a never passing painful feeling of heaviness in the stomach. The patient experiences constant discomfort, which is sometimes manifested by a sensation of pain. Patients are worried about belching air. Nausea and urge to vomit may occur in the morning. Bloating is often noted, mainly in the upper part of it, which is associated with increased gas formation.
Dyspepsia is usually aggravated after eating certain foods that activate all of the above unpleasant sensations. All this usually worsens the psychological state of the patient, which provokes the appearance of pain. In addition, bad breath and decreased appetite are often present. Often, patients suffer from insomnia due to stomach discomfort, sometimes they cannot clearly explain what exactly worries them.
Appetite disorder
It is known that when a person is sick, he has no appetite. And with heartburn, nausea and vomiting, eating only exacerbates an already poor condition. In this regard, it is easy to understand that anorexia in diseases of the intestines and stomach is quite common.

Food intake during exacerbation of peptic ulcer usually
provokes pain. That is why patients are afraid to eat, and if they take food, it is very light, such as liquid cereals, milk and jelly. Appetite in such patients is significantly reduced, but during the period of remission in the absence of an acute process, patients with ulcers like to eat. This is due to the fact that food binds excess acid in the stomach.
A decrease in appetite is also characterized by gastritis with low acidity, since little acid is produced, food is not digested and the patient does not want to eat at all. A complete lack of appetite and its decrease sometimes signal tumor diseases of the stomach.
In diseases of the intestine during the period of exacerbation, the appetite decreases very much - to its complete absence. This is due to the fact that food provokes pain attacks. Since after eating the work of the intestine is activated, it contracts, as a result, more juices are produced. In acute inflammation, the body does not need this, and then it tries to help itself by reducing the person's appetite.
If irritable bowel syndrome occurs, the appetite is weakened for psychological reasons. Patients believe that eating will cause discomfort, so they do not eat well.
Other disorders
Most patients, especially during an exacerbation, refuse to eat, as this provokes pain, nausea, vomiting and other unpleasant conditions. Sometimes body weight decreases so much that a person simply cannot get out of bed.
Due to a violation of normal nutrition, trophic disorders develop due to the lack of intake of all the necessary nutrients into the body. The skin becomes dry and flaky, and dandruff can form in the hair. Nails peel and break. Hair falls out, splits and fades. All this is due to insufficient intake of trace elements and vitamins. But all these signs do not appear immediately and not always, but mainly with a long and unfavorable course of the disease.
Often, patients suffer from anemia, this is usually detected in a laboratory blood test. Anemia is manifested by weakness, pallor of the skin, decreased performance and increased fatigue. Patients become distracted, having difficulty coping with their usual work. These signs also appear with a lack of nutrition. It is noted that changes in the psyche are extremely often a sign of damage to the gastrointestinal tract. This is due to the development of hypochondriacal moods, sometimes so pronounced that they block the clinic of the underlying disease. Patients are in a bad mood, depressed and fear the appearance of pain, exacerbation and other painful symptoms. Patients spend a lot of time with doctors, consult with knowledgeable people, undergo constant examinations. They have insomnia, and daily activities are disturbed.
Children and adolescents often hide the symptoms of the disease. This is especially true for those who are long and often in hospitals due to constant exacerbations of the disease. Such a child usually does not complain, even if his stomach hurts, because he is afraid to go to the hospital again. On examination, he is restless, naughty and crying, but this happens because of fear.
Almost all patients suffering from diseases of the stomach or intestines complain of stool disorders. At the same time, violations can be quite strong and exhaust patients. It is known that this can occur not only with intestinal diseases, but also with problems with the pancreas, stomach and liver. The nature of the violations depends on the intensity of the secretion of digestive juices that process food. When the stomach produces a lot of digestive juice, patients are most often worried about constipation. This happens with gastritis with increased secretory activity and peptic ulcer, which is often combined with excessive aggregation of hydrochloric acid. At the same time, violations of the stool are not very pronounced. It may not be a maximum of 3-4 days. However, at the time of a noticeable exacerbation of the disease, the lack of defecation can become one of the main complaints along with pain. Sometimes patients complain about the lack of stool for a week. With gastric ulcer, constipation is often combined with pain along the colon (mainly in its lower part). This happens due to the fact that the acidic contents of the stomach, getting into the intestines, irritate its walls, and as a result, spasms occur. In addition to delaying stool, a sharp decrease in its quantity is also possible.
In diseases of the stomach with reduced production of gastric juice, for example, with prolonged gastritis and tumors of the stomach, everything happens the other way around, that is, the stool becomes frequent, diarrhea appears. This is due to the fact that food is little processed by juices and enters the intestine almost in its original form. When it comes to diarrhea, first of all, we mean frequent bowel movements - up to 3 times a day, which is not the norm. There are no impurities in the feces, and their number does not increase. Patients with stomach disorders often complain of unstable stools. In this case, pronounced constipation alternates with diarrhea. This happens because of the unstable secretion of gastric juice. All stool disorders are more characteristic of intestinal diseases. After all, it is this section of the digestive tract that is responsible for both the digestion and absorption of food, and for the formation of feces.
Symptoms of bowel disease

Intestinal diseases are characterized by a variety of disorders. In chronic enteritis, the stool is usually quickened. Patients are mainly concerned about diarrhea, usually 2-3 times a day, sometimes more often. The urge to defecate occurs almost immediately after eating (after 20-25 minutes), and they can also occur during meals. All this is accompanied by intense rumbling and transfusion in the abdomen, which is associated with a sharp increase in the work of the small intestine. It is known that with enteritis, the dependence of stool disorders on the intake of certain products is very often noted. So, some patients cannot drink cow's milk, because after drinking it they develop diarrhea. Violation of the stool with enteritis can also provoke alcohol, carbonated drinks, fried and spicy foods. During remission, the stool can be completely normal. With functional disorders in the colon and irritable bowel syndrome, the stool is disturbed in the direction of constipation. It should be noted that many people are currently suffering from this due to increased stress. In this case, the true cause can often be psychogenic in nature.
Stool disorders
Most diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
accompanied by a violation of the chair. This is usually manifested by a change in the mode of defecation and the nature of feces. The patient may suffer from diarrhea, constipation, or mixed stools. In some diseases of the intestines or stomach, all these disorders can manifest themselves in turn. It is worth noting that similar problems can occur in diseases of the liver, pancreas, as well as hormonal disorders. Very often, it is precisely by the nature of the violation of the stool that an experienced doctor can make the correct diagnosis for the patient, which means that treatment can be started on time and prevent the development of complications.

Constipation
Constipation is usually called a chronic delay in bowel movements for more than 48 hours, which is accompanied by difficulty in the act of defecation, a feeling of incomplete emptying with the release of a small amount of feces, which can be quite dense. The frequency of bowel movements in healthy people depends on the nature of the diet, habits and lifestyle. The causes of constipation may vary, but are usually the lack of coordinated colonic motility, weakness of the urge to defecate, poor dietary fiber, rectal adhesions, and diseases of neighboring organs that impede the movement of feces. A similar violation of the chair can occur with poisoning with lead, mercury, thallium or atropine, as well as with excessive consumption of tea and coffee. Long-term use of drugs such as barium sulfate, hypothiazide, furosemide, and cholestyramine can also cause constipation. In children and patients with mental disorders, the defecation reflex may be impaired.
Patients complain of stool retention, while the interval from one bowel movement to another ranges from 2-4 days to 1 week, there may be no urge to stool. Fecal masses during defecation are dry, dense, fragmented. With a long delay, they can acquire a liquid consistency. Periodically, patients complain of cramping pain along the colon. On examination, the tongue is dry and coated, and the abdomen is swollen. Palpation can reveal the accumulation of feces in it.
The main function of the large intestine is to convert the liquid contents of the ileum into solid stools before they enter the rectum and are expelled. The normal activity of the colon is ensured by several important physiological processes - the absorption of electrolytes and fluids, peristaltic contractions, which provide "squeezing" moisture, mixing and promotion of feces to the rectum, and it ends with the act of defecation.
The reflex during defecation is excited by acute stretching of the ampoule of the rectum. Relaxation of the external and internal anal sphincters allows for the removal of feces. The slowdown in the movement of intestinal contents along the colon is manifested by more rare than in a healthy person, irregular bowel movements, usually of small volume. Fecal masses become denser and are released only after significant straining. In this case, after a bowel movement, there is often a feeling of incomplete emptying of the rectum.
People who suffer from constipation often complain of decreased appetite, increased fatigue, nausea, and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. In patients with chronic constipation, yellow skin color with a brownish tint is often observed. In addition, there are symptoms of vitamin deficiency and mild anemia. Their appearance is associated with pathologies of absorption of nutrients under the action of laxatives, which are usually taken in such cases.
Constipation is divided by duration into chronic and acute, as well as neurogenic, reflex, alimentary, drug-induced, inflammatory, hypodynamic, proctogenic, toxic, mechanical (due to anomalies in the development of the colon) and endocrine (developing as a result of violations of water and electrolyte metabolism).
Everyone knows that modern man eats mainly refined foods, which are too tender and contain a minimum amount of toxins. The risk of constipation is high in elderly and senile people, because they, due to the poor condition of their teeth, they eat soft foods, without vegetable fiber. This violation can also develop due to insufficient fluid intake. A sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity contribute to the occurrence of colonostasis.
The most common is simple constipation. It can occur when eating food that contains few vitamins, calcium salts, fiber, as well as with an improper diet. Any meal causes a digestive reflex, which promotes the movement of chyme and feces, breaks in the hours of eating inevitably disrupt the rhythm of intestinal motility. Accelerates motility and provides the desired amount of fecal matter rich in fiber: vegetables, greens, bran and black bread. And potatoes, rice, milk, strong tea, cocoa, white bread and food with a limited amount of liquid (that is, dry food) prevent this. It is noted that alimentary constipation occurs in people with defects in the masticatory apparatus and diseases of the digestive system, as well as in people who follow a diet for a long period of time. If bowel movements occur once every 2-3 weeks, we can already talk about persistent constipation, this state of affairs can continue for many years. The feces are usually firm and unusually large in diameter. After a certain time after the onset of constipation, a person usually develops pulling pains in the abdomen. They disappear or become weaker only after a bowel movement. Due to the long stay in the rectum, feces in people suffering from constipation become very dense. The allocation of a significant volume of solid feces becomes possible only after strong straining. This can cause anal fissures and hemorrhoids. Defecation becomes painful, and bowel emptying is not always complete.

Constipation in congenital pathologies of the development of the colon appears in people with mobile caecum and sigmoid colon, megacolon (colon larger than normal in diameter), idiopathic megacolon. The expansion of the colon, as a rule, is combined with its lengthening. Very often, megacolon is one of the signs of a disease and is therefore called secondary. It is called idiopathic when all searches for the causes of its appearance turn out to be useless. Congenital aganglionosis, or Hirschsprung's disease, is usually found in every person who has been constipated since childhood. It is characterized by the absence of nerve ganglia in the rectum and anal sphincter. The area of ​​the intestine, devoid of them, plays the role of functional stenosis, above which the accumulation of feces occurs. The main signs of this disease are persistent, persistent constipation from childhood, and the patient also has no anorectal reflex. The intensity of symptoms is directly proportional to the extent of the affected area of ​​the rectum. But if the affected part is small and localized in the distal region, signs of the disease may appear at a later age, then we can talk about Hirschsprung's disease in adults.
Mechanical constipation usually occurs in individuals who have an obstruction to the intestinal passage in the form of inflammatory formations, adhesions or packs of lymph nodes, or some kind of intestinal obstruction. The existing obstruction in volume may be small and not completely cover the intestinal lumen, but be complicated by reflex spasm, which temporarily closes the lumen. Such relative obstruction can be complicated and become complete under the influence of significant peristaltic contractions of the narrowed segment (for example, after strong straining or taking laxatives). On the basis of inflammatory diseases of the large and small intestines, inflammatory constipation often develops. It happens to every fifth person with chronic enteritis and every second person suffering from colitis. Together with constipation, the patient during the act of defecation in the feces has an admixture of blood, mucus, pus, and pains from gas colic and soreness of intestinal loops are also noted. In the elderly, long-term bed rest, and little moving people, hypodynamic constipation occurs. It can also occur in individuals with decreased intestinal motility. Violation of the act of defecation is due to insufficient physical activity and lethargy of the somatic muscles.
Reflex may be present in diseases of the digestive system and the genitourinary system, such as appendicitis, peptic ulcer, pyelonephritis and chronic colitis. Characteristic of the reflex mechanism of constipation is its increase in the phase of exacerbation of the leading disease and the normalization of stool in the phase of remission.
Proctogenic constipation can occur in people with pathology of the anorectal region, such as hemorrhoids, proctitis, sphincteritis, paraproctitis, adnexitis, anal fissures, etc. It can be caused by reflex spasm of the sphincters or inflammation of the rectum and anus. Patients usually complain of a violation of the stool, the act of defecation is often accompanied by pain in the anus and prolapse of hemorrhoids, as well as the release of blood and mucus.
Also known toxic constipation, which can develop in case of poisoning with nicotine, mercury or lead, abuse of products with a high content of tannins - such as cocoa or tea. The connection of constipation with lead poisoning must be proved by a high content of this metal in the blood or an increased excretion of it in the urine. People suffering from toxic constipation experience abdominal pain and occasional vomiting.

Constipation is sufficient in some endocrine diseases often. Colonostasis is sometimes observed in people suffering from diabetes mellitus complicated by neuropathy. Usually, constipation is moderate, but sometimes it becomes persistent, becoming the leading syndrome of the disease, and is accompanied by an expansion of the colon. Constipation can also occur with gonadal insufficiency, Addison's disease, hyperparathyroidism, pituitary disorders, menopause, and diencephalitis. Pregnant women can also suffer from constipation. It is believed that the main role in its development in this case is played by progesterone metabolites, the secretion of which sharply increases with the onset of pregnancy. In later periods, constipation can be caused by the lack of activity of a woman's sigmoid colon with an enlarged uterus. and squeezing
Medication constipation usually develops if a person regularly takes the following medications: atropine and its analogues, antihypertensives and sedatives, and tranquilizers. Moderate constipation often occurs in patients who are constantly taking diuretics or antacids. Constipation usually disappears quickly after discontinuation of the drugs that cause it.
in connection with violations of the nervous mechanisms of regulation, neurogenic constipation may occur. It may occur due to the suppression of the physiological urge due to any conditions, such as lack of hygiene skills, haste, inability to time defecation to a certain hour of the day, conflict situations, mental stress, dyskinetic disorders, as well as the presence of functional and organic diseases of the nervous system ( autonomic neurosis, progressive paralysis, encephalitis, parkinsonism, arachnoiditis, dorsal tabes, neuritis, myelitis and psychoneuroses). Constipation due to violations of water-electrolyte metabolism appears as a result of loss of body fluid, withpotassium deficiency, ascites, renal and heart failure, cholestasis. It usually develops in middle age, less often in childhood. Very often constipation occurs in schizophrenia, depression and anorexia nervosa. Often these patients ignore the urge to defecate. However, under the influence of the disease, the latter are significantly dulled. Gradually, the progression of colonostasis occurs, and the stool becomes more and more rare. Often, spontaneous defecation may be absent in such patients for 1-2 weeks. The first complaint with which such patients turn to a doctor is sometimes a complaint of constipation. In addition, patients suffer from loss of appetite, sleep disturbance, decreased attention, sweating and increased irritability. If the therapy of the underlying disease is favorable, then constipation disappears.

Diarrhea
is a change in the consistency and frequency of stools,
characterized by very frequent, watery or liquid stools. Such a violation may develop due to infection. The reasons for this may be a non-communicable disease and medication. In addition, diarrhea can be functional in nature against the background of intestinal dysbacteriosis.
Acute diarrhea lasts 4-5 days and usually resolves even without medication. It is often caused by a bacterial or viral infection, stale food, alcohol, drugs (antihypertensive drugs, antibiotics, Maalox, or magnesium supplements).
Children and the elderly are often at risk for complications due to dehydration and loss of potassium and sodium chloride. All this leads to constant thirst, dry mucous membranes, dizziness and lack of reactions to external stimuli, as well as disorientation in space and time. To treat people
dehydrated, take oral
rehydration drugs, this measure can prevent
fatal outcome.
To avoid the development of diarrhea (if there is a tendency during the rehabilitation period), you should not take medications without a doctor's prescription, consume milk and dairy products, coffee, spices, salinity, fresh fruits, carbonated drinks and juices with a high sugar content. To replenish the lost fluid, you should drink more water: 3-4 glasses every 8 hours until the diarrhea stops completely.
It is urgent to consult a doctor if diarrhea occurs in a child under 1 year old, an elderly person, when there is severe pain in the abdomen, there are all signs of dehydration, body temperature is above 38.3 ° C, and there is an admixture of blood in the feces.
Mixed chair
This is a violation of bowel movement, when constipation alternates with diarrhea. Mixed stools can occur in diseases of the stomach, intestines and other organs. Such a violation often occurs with unstable secretion of gastric juice. In addition, this disease may be due to psychogenic disorders.
Very often, mixed stools are observed in people with an unstable psyche, excitable, prone to depression and hysteria.
Pain

Almost all bowel diseases are accompanied by pain. As mentioned above, pain is a universal reaction of the body to disturbances in it. Therefore, if suddenly a person has a stomach ache, he immediately pays attention to problems in the digestive system.
Pain in the abdomen can be cramping, dull or sharp, stabbing, cutting, arching. For example, in diseases of the small intestine, when there is an accumulation of gases in the intestines, the pain sensations are mainly of a bursting, dull nature. In case of damage to the colon, they are localized in the lower abdomen or its lateral sections and have a pulling, blunt character. With colitis, the pain may be sharp, stabbing, or cramping.
Often, pain can be triggered by eating (in intestinal diseases), the accumulation of gases in the intestines, or defecation. In intestinal diseases, pain often spreads to the lumbar region, perineum and sacrum. If you experience pain in the abdomen or adjacent parts of the body, you should immediately contact a specialist and conduct an examination.
Intestinal dyspepsia
Intestinal dyspepsia is a disorder resulting from insufficiency of the secretory activity of the stomach, exocrine function of the pancreas and bile secretion. The cause of the disease can be the following factors: intestinal infections, excessive nutritional load, intake of a significant amount of fermented drinks, dysbacteriosis, predominantly protein or carbohydrate diet.
Dyspepsia can be functional, but is mainly the result of diseases of the stomach or intestines. It is expressed by incomplete breakdown of food components, active reproduction of bacteria in the intestine with their settlement in the small intestine, the appearance of dysbacteriosis and the participation of microorganisms in the enzymatic breakdown of nutrients with the appearance of a number of toxic products that cause irritation of the intestinal mucosa, as well as activation of peristalsis and signs of intoxication. organism.
This disease can occur with chronic inflammation of the small intestine and insufficiency of the exocrine function of the pancreas. It is characterized by rumbling and transfusion in the intestines, bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, and less often constipation.
Often there is a feeling of discomfort in the abdomen and pain in the middle part of the epigastric region. Pain sensations mainly appear after eating, and belching, nausea, regurgitation, vomiting, early satiety and intolerance to fatty foods are also observed. Patients often suffer from depression, hypochondria, anxiety, and somatovegetative disorders. In women, dyspepsia occurs 2 times more often than in men, and the age of patients varies from 35-45 years.
During treatment, a sparing, fractional diet is recommended. You should also establish a healthy lifestyle, give up alcohol and smoking. In addition, depending on the nature of the course of the disease, drug therapy is prescribed.
Types of diseases of the stomach and duodenum Inflammatory diseases
Gastritis

This is a disease that is characterized by damage to the gastric mucosa. There are acute and chronic gastritis. According to etiology, this disease is usually divided into exogenous and endogenous species. The development of the former is usually caused by irregular meals, fast food intake, poor chewing, eating coarse, indigestible, too hot or spicy foods (for example, hot spices: pepper, mustard, vinegar, etc.), which irritates the gastric mucosa and increases the production of of hydrochloric acid. In addition, alcohol, nicotine, and chemicals can cause stomach irritation. Long-term use of medications can also lead to this: sulfonamides, salicylates, prednisolone, anti-tuberculosis drugs, certain antibiotics, etc. Endogenous gastritis is associated with certain diseases of the internal organs of the abdominal cavity and the susceptibility of the gastrointestinal tract to various environmental influences. The main pathogenetic mechanisms of gastritis formation are the pathology of gastric mucus formation and impaired regeneration and trophism of the gastric mucosa.
To date, the classification of S. M. Ryss (1999) is considered the most complete and detailed.
1. On an etiological basis:
exogenous gastritis;
endogenous gastritis.
2. By morphological features:
superficial gastritis;
gastritis with lesions of the glands without atrophy of the epithelium;

atrophic gastritis;
hypertrophic gastritis;
antral gastritis;
erosive gastritis.
Z. On a functional basis:
gastritis with normal secretory function;
gastritis with moderate secretory insufficiency;
gastritis with pronounced secretory insufficiency.
4. According to the clinical course:
compensated gastritis (in remission phase);
decompensated gastritis (in the acute phase).
5. Special forms of chronic gastritis:
rigid gastritis.
giant hypertrophic gastritis.
polyposis gastritis.
b. Chronic gastritis associated with other diseases:

Chronic gastritis in Addison-Birmer anemia.
chronic gastritis with stomach ulcers.
chronic gastritis in malignant neoplasms.
Acute gastritis
Symptoms of acute gastritis usually appear suddenly. It can be triggered by overeating or ingestion of poor-quality food contaminated with harmful bacteria.
Functional and morphological changes in the stomach are often observed with influenza, scarlet fever, viral hepatitis, measles, diphtheria, pneumonia and typhus.
In addition, acute gastritis may be a manifestation
an allergic reaction to certain foods, such as eggs, strawberries, chocolate, etc. Often, acute inflammation of the stomach can occur during stress or nervous strain.
This disease is manifested by nausea, vomiting of residues
stagnant undigested food with an admixture of mucus, often bile (in some cases with streaks of blood).
in patients there is a complete aversion to food, some have cramping acute pain in the abdomen (gastrospasm), dizziness, headache, general weakness and fever (up to 38 ° C and even higher).
Chronic gastritis

This is an inflammation of the chronic nature of the gastric mucosa with a restructuring of its structure and progressive atrophy, impaired motor, secretory and endocrine functions. The course of the disease is long, undulating, with alternating exacerbations and remissions.
Chronic gastritis has a polyetiological character. In addition to the reasons noted in the Ryss classification, undertreated and repeated gastritis, prolonged and frequent stress exposures, and pathological metabolic products that are released during uremia and ketoacidosis are important. Hereditary predisposition also matters. Gastritis is also often combined with other diseases of the digestive tract, such as colitis and cholecystitis.
The action of harmful factors first leads to functional disorders of the secretory and motor functions of the stomach, then inflammatory changes in the mucosa develop, which affect both the epithelium and the glandular apparatus. The ability to regenerate gradually decreases, which is accompanied by the predominance of proliferation processes over differentiation processes. Then local disorders of microcirculation appear. Violation of the products of gastrointestinal peptides and prostaglandins leads to dysregulation of gastric secretion. Further violation of the motor-evacuation activity of the stomach is accompanied by the manifestation of duodenal reflux.
With progressive gastritis, there is also an autoimmune component (autoantibodies to various cells of the gastric mucosa), which is especially characteristic of atrophic gastritis.
At the moment, there are several clinical and morphological forms of chronic gastritis. For example, inflammation of the mucosa with normal and increased secretion affects mainly young men. In this case, the glands are not damaged, atrophy usually does not occur. There is a pain syndrome, sometimes the pains are ulcer-like in nature, there are sour eructations and heartburn, the tongue is covered with a white coating, there is a tendency to constipation. Often gastritis is combined with duodenitis.
Erosive gastritis (chronic erosion of the stomach, hemorrhagic gastritis) is characterized by the presence of inflammatory and erosive changes in the gastric mucosa. Stomach bleeding often occurs. Gastric secretion is usually increased or unchanged. Usually, with this form of gastritis, the pain is more intense, sometimes early (on an empty stomach) or late. But in general, the symptoms do not differ from gastritis with normal or increased secretion.
Chronic gastritis with secretory insufficiency
as a rule, it is manifested by atrophic changes in the gastric mucosa and its secretory insufficiency, which are noticeable to varying degrees. Most often, patients complain of heaviness, aching pain in the epigastric region, a feeling of fullness, nausea and belching with air. An unpleasant aftertaste is felt in the mouth, a decrease in appetite and a tendency to diarrhea are noted. On palpation of the abdomen, there is rumbling, transfusion and some pain in the epigastric region. Usually chronic gastritis with secretory insufficiency develops in older patients. If the course is long, it leads to weight loss of the patient, polyhypovitaminosis and iron deficiency or normochromic anemia.
Rigid (or antral) gastritis is characterized by deep and pronounced cicatricial and inflammatory changes in the antral region of the stomach. As a rule, this leads to deformation and narrowing of this department. There are hungry pains in the epigastrium, which subside after eating. Symptoms do not differ from gastritis with increased secretion, but the course is protracted, and there are practically no remissions. Extremely difficult to treat.
Giant hypertrophic gastritis (Menetrier's disease) is a rather rare form of gastritis, with it there are many adenomas and cystic formations in the gastric mucosa, its folds become rough - thickened. Patients complain of heartburn, belching of air, food eaten and vomiting (sometimes mixed with blood). In addition, pain in the epigastric region during palpation and weight loss are observed. A large amount of protein is lost with gastric juice, which is the cause of hypoproteinemia (in severe cases, it is manifested by anemia and hypoproteinemic edema of the lower extremities and lumbar region).
Polypous gastritis is usually characterized by regenerative hyperplasia of the gastric mucosa (multiple or single polyps) and atrophy. And the clinical picture is similar to chronic atrophic gastritis. Usually, the doctor makes a diagnosis of "chronic gastritis", based on the anamnesis data, the patient's complaints and the results of gastroscopy. To determine some forms of gastritis, such as antral, polyposis and hypertrophic, targeted biopsy is also needed. X-ray examination in chronic gastritis does not have a defining position today and is used only to exclude an oncological tumor or peptic ulcer, when the patient's condition does not allow gastroscopy: advanced age, concomitant severe diseases of the heart, lungs, etc. For adequate treatment, it is necessary determine the acidity of gastric juice.
Chronic gastritis with normal or increased secretion: basal secretion is normal or increased up to 10 mmol h, the highest histamine secretion up to 35 mmol h, hyperemia, hypertrophy of folds, edema and the presence of mucus.

With erosive gastritis, gastric secretion is increased or normal, there are multiple erosions of a polygonal or rounded shape with a predominant accumulation in the outlet section of the stomach against the background of superficial gastritis.
In chronic gastritis with secretory insufficiency, the basal secretion of hydrochloric acid averages 0.8 mmol h, the maximum histamine secretion is 1 mmol h. The mucosa has a pale shade, its widespread or focal thinning is observed, the blood vessels of the submucosal layer are clearly visible, and mucus covers the folds of the gastric mucosa. Fluoroscopy shows a decrease in tone and peristalsis, smoothness of the mucosal relief, acceleration of the removal of gastric contents, and a biopsy shows flattening of the mucosal epithelium, atrophy of varying severity, intestinal and pyloric metaplasia.
With antral gastritis, there is an increase in gastric secretion. In the pylorus zone, the mucosa is hyperemic, its folds are swollen. In the submucosal layer, hemorrhages and erosion take place, the tone of the antrum is increased. Fluoroscopy notes the deformation of the relief of the antral mucosa, sometimes its narrowing, the folds are thickened and covered with mucus, the peristalsis is reduced, and the tone is increased. A biopsy shows signs of hyperplasia in the pyloric zone, cell infiltration of its own layer, areas of intestinal metaplasia are observed, and atrophy of varying severity is noted in some areas.
With giant hypertrophic gastritis, gastric secretion may be different (increased, decreased or normal). The mucous membrane is swollen, with wide folds and covered with mucus. Biopsy shows hyperplasia of all elements of the mucosa, and fluoroscopy - very enlarged mucosal folds along the greater curvature, which "hanging" into the lumen of the stomach or duodenum. With polyposis gastritis, gastric secretion is reduced. There are multiple or single polyps (mainly in the pyloric zone), the mucosa is pale, thinned, the vessels of the submucosal layer shine through it. A biopsy usually reveals polyps and signs of atrophic gastritis. X-ray shows that the relief of the mucosa is not disturbed, there are small homogeneous filling defects with the main localization of the vantral region of the stomach.
Recent scientific studies have shown that in the acidic environment of the stomach, where even the most resistant microbes die, helicobacteria, special rare microorganisms that cause chronic inflammation, can live and successfully multiply. Scientists believe that almost all people now have them, which is why stomach diseases (especially gastritis) are so widespread.
Duodenitis
This is a disease of the duodenum, which is characterized by a change in the mucous membrane in the form of inflammation, erosion and atrophy. It can be both an independent disease and concomitant gastritis, cholecystitis, chronic pancreatitis, peptic ulcer, liver disease or food allergies. Duodenitis is quite widespread, and men suffer from it more often. There are superficial, atrophic, interstitial, hyperplastic, erosive-ulcerative and chronic forms of the disease.
Chronic duodenitis is a polyetiological disease. Its development is usually caused by malnutrition and alcohol consumption. Secondary chronic duodenitis is detected with various pathologies of organs located close to the duodenum, as well as with various toxic and allergic effects (food allergies, uremia). In the pathogenesis of the chronic course of duodenitis, the proteolytic effect of active gastric juice is traced, for example, with various kinds of dyskinesias, trophic disorders and disorders of the lymphoepithelial mucosal barrier.
Duodenitis is characterized by pain in the epigastrium, which varies significantly in severity, duration and intensity. Patients complain of "bursting" of the abdomen, regular heaviness and nightly hungry pains. There is belching of air, nausea and a tendency to constipation. Palpation reveals tenderness or tenderness in the pyloroduodenal zone. The disease usually proceeds for a long time, for many years. Exacerbations appear after an error in the diet and last from 14 days to 1.5 months. Sometimes there is an autumn-spring seasonality (as in duodenal ulcer). With repeated duodenitis, the course of the disease depends on the manifestations of the primary pathology. With complications, bleeding from eroded surfaces is possible.
In the diagnosis of chronic duodenitis, the main role belongs to gastroduodenoscopy. This method reveals changes in the mucous membrane of an inflammatory nature, focal or diffuse swelling, pinpoint hemorrhages and the presence of erosions (single or multiple). With atrophic duodenitis, in addition to zones of edema and hyperemia, there are foci of pale, thinned mucosa, through which blood vessels shine through, and there is no mucus in the intestinal lumen. The acidity of gastric juice is normal or increased, and it is reduced with concomitant gastritis with mucosal atrophy. X-ray shows violations of motility of the duodenum in the form of duodenostasis in its various departments (bulbostasis) and pathological peristalsis. The relief of the mucosa is edematous, rough and deformed.
Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum
Peptic ulcer is a chronic disease (occurring with periods of exacerbation and well-being) of the stomach and duodenum, in which a mucosal defect occurs (more or less deep). Actually, it is he who is called an ulcer.
The disease is widespread, mainly men are susceptible to it, and it is expressed by the seasonality of exacerbations. There is currently no unified classification of peptic ulcer; in medical practice, gastric and duodenal ulcers associated or not associated with Helicobacter pylori, drug-induced and symptomatic ulcers are isolated.
The disease has a multifactorial origin. It can develop due to alimentary disorders, constant stress, ulcerogenic drugs or habitual intoxications. Currently, the presence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria and a change in the ratio of local factors of aggression and defense are considered to be the main causes. The primary aggressive factors are the active production of hydrochloric acid and pepsin, as well as the increased evacuation of acidic contents into the duodenal bulb, that is, there is an "acid strike" on the mucous membrane. Helicobacter pylori is an opportunistic bacterium that produces urease (a toxin for the stomach epithelium), which enhances the mucosal inflammatory response.
A complex pathogenetic link ultimately leads to a sharp decrease in blood flow in the vessels of the gastric mucosa and a violation of the physiological and reparative regeneration of the mucosa. According to some reports, these bacteria are detected in 65-98 O/o of patients with duodenal ulcer and 40-60 O/o of patients with gastric ulcer.
The symptoms of peptic ulcer depend on the disease defect. Ulcers of the subcardial region of the stomach occur in people over 50 years of age. Pain appears immediately after eating in the zone of the xiphoid process and often gives to the region of the heart, which requires an ECG. There are constant heartburn, belching food and furred tongue. Complications often develop, the disease is difficult to treat with medication.
The most common ulcers of the body and angle of the stomach. Usually, pains appear 10-30 minutes after eating, sometimes they radiate to the back, the left half of the chest, behind the sternum and to the left hypochondrium. There is belching, heartburn and nausea. Sometimes patients themselves induce vomiting, as this makes them feel better. The tongue is usually coated with a white-gray thick coating. Ulcers of the antrum of the stomach most often occur in young patients.
