Causes of lazy bowel syndrome

The pathogenesis of the disease is associated with disturbances in the functioning of the intestines, namely with a failure of motor function, leading to constipation and diarrhea. In this case, additional absorption of liquid by the intestines occurs, the volume of feces decreases, and its density increases.

The most common causes of a lazy bowel are the following:

Lack of physical activity. Leads to disruption of the circulation of blood fluid in the pelvic organs.
Poor nutrition. Problems with the gastrointestinal tract are caused by smoked and salty food, baked goods and sweets, alcohol. Foods with GMOs, as well as coffee and tea drunk immediately after eating, can trigger the development of loose bowel syndrome.

People with overweight. Obesity is the cause of slow intestinal motility. It often occurs in people with sedentary jobs.
Pregnant girls. Hormones inhibit peristalsis, and the uterus, increasing in size, interferes with the free passage feces and causes incomplete bowel emptying.

The causes of pathology in a newborn are associated with improper nutrition of the mother, and in a child after 1–2 years - with an unbalanced diet. Sometimes a baby does not go to the toilet due to a psychological factor, for example, when he is in an unfamiliar place. This provokes the development of the syndrome.

Nutrition

It is important to make the intestines work. To do this you need to eat food with big amount fibers: asparagus, cabbage, carrots, prunes. Don't forget about beans. Olive oil should be used as fat. It is forbidden to eat sausages. You need to give up sugar, spices, sauces, fatty meats and cheeses, white bread and alcohol.

More than 2000 years ago, Hippocrates said: “Everything, disease begins in the intestines.”

That is, the health of your intestines depends entirely on what we eat. We simply have to choose proper nutrition for the intestines.

However, not everyone knows this today... I hope today we will clarify everything...

First we need to understand how much our gut health impacts our mental, physical and spiritual health.

Just remember, for example, how irritable you were in Lately? But at the same time, you yourself don’t understand why. It was so? Perhaps you cannot even understand what is happening to you.

And the cause of even seemingly such conditions may be an intestine clogged with toxins.

For more more people just going to the restroom is a heroic feat. And they only do it once every five or seven days. But even these people do not know that the cause of this may be an unhealthy intestinal condition.

By the way, have you ever wondered why, when you come to see a doctor with a certain problem, he often asks a question about your stool, and...? He may ask how often and how easily you go to the toilet.

After all, many different diseases begin with the intestines.

To get you started, here are some simple facts about the human gut:

1. More than 100 trillion microorganisms live in the human intestines.

That is, we have 10 times more bacteria in our intestines than we have cells in the entire body. This number may be difficult to understand... but can you imagine what impact 100000000000000 microorganisms can have on your condition?

After all, the intestines in the human body perform one of the key roles during the digestion process.

The intestine is divided into the small intestine and the large intestine.

In the small intestine, through cavity and parietal membrane digestion, hydrolysis of the main nutrients occurs, followed by absorption. It is in the intestines that complete breakdown of proteins and transformation of carbohydrates occurs.

The large intestine serves as a reservoir for feces. It plays an important role in the absorption of fluids, substances not absorbed in the small intestine, as well as in residual digestion.

2. Our bacteria in the intestines are more than 75% of the health of our entire immune system!

Do you often feel tired for a long time? And there is a reason for this... Often our immune system is weakened due to an imbalance of our own gut bacteria. This is in addition to the fact that we can be affected by both external and internal toxins.

You just need to correct this balance in the intestinal microflora (ideally there should be 85% beneficial bacteria and 15% neutral bacteria). Imagine if instead of 85% of good bacteria you suddenly have 50% of them, and the rest are harmful. It is this part of the bacteria that will reduce your overall level of immunity.

3. When our guts become weakened, we are at risk of developing various autoimmune conditions and other diseases.

Improper bowel function is even manifested by weight loss, hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia, anemia mixed type, edema, the occurrence of polyendocrine insufficiency.

Upon careful examination of patients with intestinal inflammation, most researchers state that the occurrence of nutritional status disorders in this category of patients is due to:

disruption of digestion processes due to decreased activity of intestinal and pancreatic enzymes;
disruption of absorption processes, the morphological substrate of which consists of the replacement of specialized cells with immature enterocytes;
increased intestinal motility;
violation of the protein-synthetic function of the liver;
increased loss of protein into the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract.

If you say in simple language, weakened intestinal system, plays a big role in our general condition and health.

Imagine if toxins from our intestines enter the blood capillary. Inflammatory and other unhealthy processes will automatically develop in our body.

How to quickly and easily understand that the intestines are polluted?

It's simple... Look around before you wash!

What did I want to say? The fact that leading experts in the field of nutrition and proper digestion spend a lot of time, well, I’ll tell you straight... analyzing poop!

The most amazing thing about working with clients is that they say that our stool is directly related to our health. Remember we talked about this above. Yes... The whole truth, in fact, is in your chair. Therefore, pay attention to how and how many times a week you go to the toilet. If this is rare and very difficult, the reason may be that the intestines are clogged with toxins.

What needs to be done to expel them and normalize intestinal function...

...Proper nutrition to cleanse the intestines

The basic principles of therapeutic nutrition are unchanged for all intestinal diseases:

Therapeutic nutrition should affect metabolism. It should treat and prevent diseases
It is necessary to adhere to proper nutrition
You need to diversify your diet plan
Therapeutic nutrition should be selected individually
Balance your diet. Should be considered chemical composition products
It is necessary to properly handle food in the kitchen
Therapeutic nutrition is most conducive to recovery. If it is combined with others healing factors: lifestyle changes, physical activity, using clean filtered water and so on.

Let's talk about everything in more detail and in order. Let's try to figure out how you can cleanse your intestines with nutrition.

1. Increase stomach acidity for better digestion.

This is one of the most common things that experts see in a large table of causes of intestinal problems.

If we are unable to digest our food, we do not absorb enough nutrients and minerals... Even if we eat even more organic products of local origin.

Hydrochloric acid, which naturally produced in our stomach when we eat in order to digest our food. And she, in turn, then goes into small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients. At first glance, everything seems very simple, perhaps? So? ...

But in reality everything is more complicated!

Look around... Our busy lifestyle and irregular diet causes a significant reduction in the secretion of this acid in the stomach. Some studies also note that the lack of useful substances in our food may even help stop the “production” of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

And it’s scary to imagine this...

If your food does not turn into its own desired condition for further passage and digestion in the intestines, it will cause unnecessary stress in the entire digestive system.

The most effective and fastest way to increase stomach acid is to use apple cider vinegar in your diet.

Apple cider vinegar for colon cleansing is a real godsend.

You can do this in various ways.

You can simply drink a glass of water first thing in the morning with a tablespoon of vinegar in it. We have already talked about this unique product more than once. This product a real find for home medicine.

By the way, you can dilute apple cider vinegar with honey. This is a real bomb recipe for the health of not only the intestines.

The only thing you need to pay attention to when choosing this product is its quality and purity. Do not buy simple acetic acid with mass fraction alcohol 9%. This vinegar will burn your stomach and more. We recommend, as we do ourselves, that you make apple cider vinegar at home.

2. Include fermented foods (probiotics) to improve digestion and cleanse your colon.

What are fermented foods, you ask?

Yes, it's quite simple!

One of them is dairy products, which are a great way to restore healthy intestinal flora. They heal the intestines well and immediately improve its health, as well as your mood and energy.

By the way, be sure to check out our article with a very easy recipe for colon cleansing at home.

Moreover, probiotics can also be in tablets or powder, at the nearest pharmacy. But be sure to beware of food products and yogurts packed with additives (sugar that kills or various “Es”). Yes, they may contain probiotics, but they can also be harmful to your health.

Instead, focus your efforts on finding raw, unpasteurized foods. For example, sauerkraut, or other foods that are naturally fermented (or make your own).

If you don't eat enough of them, start with small quantity, and then increase their presence in your diet.

If you make these products yourself, use pure ingredients, natural unrefined cane sugar or unrefined sea salt. You will see their effect on your body, if not instantly, then you won’t have to wait long.

This will improve your digestion, absorption of nutrients and ensure proper gut health.

Add homemade pickled cucumbers in a barrel to your healthy diet. It's so simple. By the way, if you do it yourself Home wine using healthy sugar or a little more honey for fermentation, then remember that it can also help you in cleansing the intestines and calming many inflammatory processes.

But don't overdo it with wine!

3. Eat a balanced diet.

We hear about this all the time. No matter what diet we start. Whether it’s a diet for weight loss or just to improve your health, all experts say: “Keep a balanced diet.”

This is extremely important!

Stick to it balanced diet. Include fiber-rich foods healthy proteins and nut oils (eg. Coconut oil, almond and others), seeds and algae.

By the way, flax seeds are great for cleansing the intestines.

Green smoothies

Green cocktails or, as it is now fashionable to call them, smoothies. They are a great way to support digestive function and gut health. Start your day with the right breakfast.

Most importantly, make sure you are getting a variety of nutrients from various types food products. Turn on your intuition, feel what you need now, what your body needs.

Once you have eliminated the toxic, processed food products from your diet and begin to work on healing and restoring your gut and your entire body. Later you will notice that you will become much more in harmony with your body.

Include more green juices in your diet, starting in the morning on an empty stomach.

Add more healthy herbs and cleansing products not only digestive tract, but also the whole organism. Everything works in the body together, as a single mechanism.

A special place should be given to fiber.

We have already talked about its importance for the health of the heart and blood vessels. It is equally important for intestinal health. This could be fruits, vegetables, legumes, more greens.

Indigestible fibers act as scrapers in the intestines and, together with water, help remove waste and toxins from the body. Therefore, remember the important thing - drink enough water. She's really needed proper operation fiber.

Pay attention to cereals and grains

As he says medical Center Rush University (USA), some of them are easily accessible.

It can be whole grains include barley, quinoa, whole wheat flour, wild brown rice and oatmeal. This is the most healthy and proper nutrition for the intestines and more!

These products contain a large number of vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids, antioxidants and phytochemicals (natural compounds from plants that have beneficial influence on the body).

Beware of foods like white flour and white rice.

Always remember that the health of your digestive tract speaks volumes. Therefore, it is very important to monitor his condition. And most importantly, it is not very difficult.

Make time for your meal. Sit down, relax and chew your food thoroughly.

Our modern society always lives “on the go.”

Look at yourself and your children. We are not used to sitting at the table with the whole family and often don’t even see each other. We eat where we have to.

Firstly, this is all sorts of nasty stuff, secondly, we eat so quickly that sometimes we even throw away what we haven’t eaten, and thirdly, we wash it down with killer carbonated drinks.

Therefore, we simply need to add to what we said above about the benefits of this or that food - eat slowly! No need to eat while driving or while working, etc.

Why do we live this way today? ...

If you are really in a hurry, make yourself a real one in advance. healthy snack, which will not harm you.

Remember, mealtime is a sacred time.

This is the time to sit, relax and enjoy pleasant tastes and the aromas of healthy and favorite food. If you really have time to eat or have a normal snack, just do it. After all, all our wrong actions often make themselves felt a little later, when emergency help may be required.

We must move away from this fight-or-flight eating pattern and instead make time for a nutritious meal or, more simply put, begin to respect ourselves and our health.

Concentrate on your meal. This is one of the most important things we can do to improve bowel function. After all, improperly chewed and poorly digested food is bad for you. And it ends up in the intestines.

Initially, this will seem like an eternity for you, and for some it will even be funny. But take a small step forward first - start with 15-20 chews. This will have great value for the health of your intestines.

This simple technique will easily reduce flatulence (bloating) and fatigue after eating.

Beware...

As the same Rush University says, we need to limit some of the foods in our diet for good intestinal microflora.

Sugar. There are already tons of information about sugar. They all show one thing: refined sugar is poison. Repeated studies have already shown that sugar can lead to colon cancer...

Use healthy substitutes: stevia, honey, dates and other dried fruits and just fruits.

Red meat and smoked meats. As Dr. Rasmusen says:

You can eat some pure red meat - about two to four ounces of red meat per week. AND It is better to limit eating processed meat as it has very harmful components, such as preservatives, which can cause cancer"

Gluten. We have already written a little higher that you should beware of premium flour, as well as any gluten-containing processed cereals, such as white rice. Because this is no longer flour, but practically pure gluten. It can cause severe disorders, both in the stomach and further in our intestines.

Final Thoughts

All you have to do is make some plan for replacement harmful products more alive and clean, which are described above and your intestines will sing songs.

9 ways to wake up a “lazy” intestine without pills

Our diseases arise for various reasons. Among them are the environment, stress, unhealthy lifestyle caused by lack of time, etc. However, in 90% of cases chronic diseases are caused by malfunction intestines, this “immune bank” of the whole body. Experts say that a clogged intestine harms the body, clogging it in a way that no other environmental disaster can.

What is constipation?

Constipation is a failure in normal operation gastrointestinal tract, which causes problems with bowel movements. At the same time, a slagged intestine also provokes headaches, dizziness, bad breath, decreased appetite, coated tongue, heaviness and bloating in the abdomen. In addition, drowsiness and apathy, irritability and isolation, up to obsessive negative thoughts, may occur.

What if it’s dysbacteriosis?

Many people think that constipation (as well as abdominal pain, diarrhea, belching and bad smell from the mouth) is a consequence of dysbacteriosis. Wrong! Dysbacteriosis itself is one of the manifestations of various diseases. Correction of microflora can accompany the main treatment, but does not replace it. Therefore, if you are offered to do stool tests “for dysbacteriosis”, know: the disease, when it exists, cannot be cured with their help; they do not give anything in terms of treating the underlying disease.

Cause of constipation

High-calorie refined foods. Almost the most main reason constipation in our time. This food is rich simple carbohydrates and is deprived of dietary fiber - the same fiber that stimulates the intestines to work actively. For example, when you eat White bread, your intestines produce very little stool, and as a result, the bowel reflex is dulled. The intestines may not “want” to be cleansed for several days, and the masses in it begin to thicken and become compressed - constipation occurs.

Forced stool retention. Adults at work and children at school often suppress the urge to go to the toilet. This habit affects the emptying reflex - the activity and sensitivity of the nerves decreases, the intestines become sluggish, and - the most dangerous thing - the person gradually gets used to it.

Medicines. Certain medications may cause or worsen constipation. These medications include aluminum or calcium antacids, antihistamines, Parkinson's disease medications, calcium supplements, diuretics, narcotics, phenothiazines, sleeping pills, and tricyclic antidepressants.

Hidden constipation

Constipation is tricky. How, for example, does hidden constipation develop? If you add inactivity, sedentary work, constant overwork and stress to poor nutrition and the habit of holding back, then constipation becomes persistent. And even if you visit the toilet regularly, hidden forms of constipation remain.

How to get rid of constipation

1. Eat fiber. The first thing a person suffering from constipation needs to do is check their diet. The American Dietetic Association recommends 20-35 grams of fiber daily. The most fiber contains cooked beans, prunes, figs, raisins, cornflakes, oat groats, pears and nuts. Just keep in mind that you need to gradually increase the amount of fiber in your diet to avoid gas.

2. Drink water. Another main dietary rule for getting rid of constipation is drinking. Every adult should have at least 6 glasses of liquid in their daily diet. Water is best. Doctors strongly recommend getting into the habit of drinking a glass or two of healthy moisture immediately after waking up or brushing your teeth.

3. Do physical exercise. Regular exercise isn't just good for your heart. They help fight constipation by making food move through the intestines faster.

4. Laugh more often. It has been shown that laughter really helps fight constipation - it massages the intestines, which stimulates the digestion process, and, in addition, relieves stress.

5. To prevent constipation, you need to cleanse your intestines from time to time. Use natural laxatives for this.

6. Vegetable oil. Vegetable oil, especially olive oil, can be taken every morning on an empty stomach, a tablespoon.

7. Cabbage pickle. It has a mild laxative effect. Drink it warm on an empty stomach, just half a glass is enough.

8. Flax seed. Another proven herbal laxative that can be bought at any pharmacy. Pour a teaspoon of flax seed into a glass of boiling water 5 hours before bedtime. Before going to bed, drink the infusion and eat the seeds.

9. “Broom” salad. Chop the cabbage, grate the carrots, beets and stalked celery. No salt or oil needed. At low acidity you can add sauerkraut.

It occurs against the background of weakened intestinal muscles and reduced immunity of the body. Poor nutrition at a young age, poor environmental conditions, sedentary lifestyle life - all this leads to a problem. Most people consider it to be insignificant and therefore do not rush to contact a specialist.

How to make your intestines work perfectly

Rules for eating food

The intestine is the main organ of digestion, the work of which directly affects a person’s sensations after eating food. If you suddenly want to treat yourself to dishes that you rarely cook, remember that you shouldn’t immediately load your intestines with rare foods. For example, if you rarely have vegetables in your diet, but unexpectedly for yourself you decide to make up for this omission at a rapid pace, the result of such an experiment can be not only bloating, but also the appearance of belching and excessive gas formation.

Never forget that the intestines become accustomed to foods that are regularly present in your diet. New foods are better to eat in small portions.

When eating, remember a few rules. Chew foods thoroughly, never talk during meals, do not snack on a quick fix or while walking. Before going to bed, it is better to limit yourself to a light dinner.

Foods that improve digestion

Oatmeal is a unique product, which contains a record amount of fiber. Bran is often prescribed as a medicinal food supplement for those who suffer from excess weight or digestive problems. Fresh greens improve the digestion process and help greatly speed up the process of digestion of food by the body. Vegetables and fruits are products that are high in pectin, which also help normalize metabolism.

Also, please note Special attention on the amount of fluid consumed per day. Water must be drunk regularly. In this case we're talking about not about tea, coffee or juice, but about ordinary drinking water.

Foods that impair digestion

The main enemy for the intestines is heavy food. Try not to overeat, and eat even your favorite foods in small portions. If your body is prone to belching, bloating, constipation or other consequences of digestive dysfunction, special attention should be paid to foods that have a detrimental effect on the intestines.

You should be careful when eating carbonated drinks, refined foods, meat, heavy cereals, white bread and sugar. If you have certain intestinal diseases, it is better to avoid them completely.

What to do when your intestines become lazy

It often happens that a person lives for a long time for his own pleasure, even if he works hard: he walks a little, eats tasty but unhealthy food, and drinks liquids only in the form of tea or coffee. Later he notices that problems arise with bowel movements, and even later allergies, eczema, and dry skin develop out of nowhere.

And it turns out that the whole problem is in the simply “lazy” digestive organs. How can you make a lazy intestine work and correct the situation?

What is “lazy gut”

This word refers to a condition when the tone of the intestinal muscles decreases, which should move the food bolus, and then the feces, in the direction from duodenum to the straight line. As a result, constipation develops, and prolonged presence of feces in the intestines leads to intoxication of the body, because absorption continues, only now unsafe chemical compounds enter the blood along with water.

Causes of the condition

Lazy bowels develop due to the following reasons:

sedentary lifestyle: contractions of the striated muscles of the limbs and torso activate the work of the smooth muscles of the intestine;
low fiber content in foods consumed: this is exactly what complex carbohydrate, contained in plant fibers, makes the intestines work;
suppression of desires to go to the toilet in a big way;
mechanical obstacles to feces: hemorrhoids, tumors, polyps. As a result, the intestinal wall stretches to the point of congestion, losing its tone, and feces accumulate there;
a small amount of fluid consumed: as a result, water is quickly absorbed from food and the feces become “dry”. In this state it is difficult for him to move through the intestines;
pregnancy: an enlarged uterus and the “command” of the hormone progesterone to relax smooth muscles leads to lazy bowel syndrome;
love for such products as: white bread and pastries, polished rice, sausages, cheese, salty fish, boiled milk, cocoa and coffee;

How does pathology manifest itself?

Warning! Normally, defecation should occur every day, no more than 3 times. If there is a change of environment or stress, you can “skip” one day, but in general you should go at least 3 times a week.

Here are the symptoms of a lazy bowel:

constipation;
feeling of bloating;
heaviness in the stomach;
bad breath or a feeling of “stale breath”;
decreased appetite;
dry mouth.

Warning! Late signs a lazy intestine will cause deterioration in the condition of the skin, hair and nails - their dryness and brittleness.

How to make your intestines work without the help of drugs

With the help of the intestines, the body gets rid of food debris in the form of feces. Normally, in an adult, this happens every day and several times. But it happens that intestinal activity decreases, periodic or chronic constipation. In medicine, there is a special definition for such conditions - “lazy bowel syndrome.”

Self-poisoning of the body

So sensitive issue brings a smile only to those who have not encountered it. In turn, it causes a lot of difficulties for patients. This happens because waste products and toxins that should be excreted with feces accumulate in the colon and, entering the blood, spread throughout the body. In fact, his self-poisoning begins, which is accompanied by:

Unhealthy buns and buns

Reasons why going to the toilet becomes big problem, many, and the most common:

sedentary lifestyle, blood begins to stagnate in the pelvic organs;
untimely bowel movements;
lack of fluid, causing stool to thicken;
refined foods rich in carbohydrates: rolls, buns, white bread, cakes, cookies, and strong tea, coffee, sausage, salted fish;
taking certain medications, especially those containing codeine.

Vinaigrette as a medicine

If you have “lazy bowel” syndrome, don’t rush to try yet another “magic” advertised remedy for constipation. It doesn’t take long to train your body to walk big with the help of medications. If the disease is not accompanied sharp pains, stool without blood and mucus, then try to normalize the stool yourself. To do this you need:

1. Drink a glass of cool boiled water on an empty stomach. Do not limit yourself in fluid intake, optimally - 1.5-2 liters per day.

2. More movement, but without fanaticism. We went through several stops, did a little exercise in the morning - we already helped ourselves. The main thing is to do this not from time to time, but constantly.

3. Try a simple and effective exercise: place your legs outstretched on a chair and massage your stomach in the navel area clockwise.

4. Review your diet. Foods rich in fiber will help to “start” the intestines. From fruits: apples, plums, prunes, dates, figs, raisins. From vegetables: beets, carrots, cabbage (a vinaigrette that combines all these types of vegetables is good in this regard), fresh herbs. And also oatmeal buckwheat, bran.

Amount of fiber per day in grams (an apple contains approximately 4 grams of fiber, 100 grams of broccoli contains 5 grams of fiber). But be careful with fiber if you have stomach problems!

5. Do a cleansing enema. To do this, take Esmarch's mug, fill it boiled water room temperature (1.5-2 liters), without additives, lie down. The procedure should be carried out in the evening, on weekends, when there is no need to rush anywhere. You cannot constantly resort to such cleansing; the intestines must work without outside help.

6. Don’t get carried away with medications! You can use “mild” laxatives based on lactulose, suppositories with glycerin, approved for pregnant and nursing mothers.

7. Establish a “toilet routine”: try to empty your bowels at the same time every day, preferably after breakfast.

8. Listen to the needs of the body, if it requires you to go “big”, in no case should you endure it. Otherwise, the brain will stop sending signals about this natural need, which will lead to constipation.

Let's look into the collection of folk recipes

2 tsp flaxseed, taken daily in the morning, will provide the body with enough fiber.

Stewed apples – 8 tbsp, prune juice – 80 mg, bran – 8 tsp.

Mix everything, take 2-3 tbsp. mixture after lunch with a glass of water. The mixture will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Grind dried apricots, raisins, prunes (all 100g each), add chopped senna grass (1 tbsp) and honey (1 tbsp), mix. Take 1 tbsp in the morning. on an empty stomach.

1 tbsp. Pour boiling water over plantain seeds and leave for half an hour. The first portion of the medicine is 2 tbsp. - take on an empty stomach. Then - 1 tbsp. in 20 minutes before meals. Before each dose, the infusion should be shaken so that the seeds fall evenly into each serving.

1 tbsp. crushed buckthorn bark, pour 300 ml of water, boil over low heat for 20 minutes. Cool, strain. Take 150 ml on an empty stomach in the morning and evening, before bed.

Sometimes constipation is a consequence of another disease. Therefore, if you are unable to normalize your intestinal function on your own within 2-3 weeks, or your condition worsens, immediately contact a doctor - a therapist, gastroenterologist, or proctologist.
