Among them, you can especially highlight such unpleasant symptoms as diarrhea, colitis, constipation, bloating, increased gas formation , etc. Agree that with such signs it is quite difficult to adhere to a normal lifestyle. In this regard, we suggest you consider the most effective methods for treating dysbiosis in adults.
The basic rules of treatment
The first thing a patient who has problems with the digestive system must do is completely change his usual diet. The diet, which is prescribed to a person with a diagnosis of dysbiosis, should be aimed at restoring the lost balance of microflora, as well as normalizing intestinal motility. So, consider in more detail what should or should not be used by people with the presented problem.
Dysbacteriosis in adults: diet treatment
For starters, components that can increase gas formation in the intestine should be excluded from the diet . These ingredients include coarse fiber, namely any kind of cabbage, apples, celery, etc. In addition, you should use fermented milk products enriched with beneficial bacteria at least 4 times a week.
Drug therapy
1. Antibiotics
Quite often, antibacterial drugs cause such a nuisance as dysbiosis in adults. Treatment of this disease in some cases also involves the use of antibiotics. However, they are prescribed only in cases where an excess of pathogenic microflora in the intestine over time leads to rather severe digestive disorders, malabsorption of beneficial substances, as well as the development of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
2. Cholagogue and enzyme preparations
Dysbacteriosis in adults, the treatment of which is based on medications, is often treated with drugs that improve the breakdown of food products, as well as the absorption of all nutrients from them. This is necessary in order to create favorable conditions in the intestine for the colonization of normal microflora. Among these drugs, you can especially highlight the funds "Creon", "Hofitol", "Mezim", "Essential" and "Resolute".
3. Stimulants of peristalsis
In order to establish impaired bowel function, drugs such as Trimedat (for constipation) and Immudon (for diarrhea) will help.
4. Preparations for the normalization of microflora:
- prebiotics - medicines that include substances that interfere with the development of pathogenic flora in the intestine and stimulate the natural population of beneficial microflora (Hilak forte, Lactulose preparations);
- probiotics - means that contain living microorganisms, due to which the microflora in the intestine is normalized (Bifiform, Linex);
- synbiotics - combined drugs ("Normoflorin").
Also, adult dysbiosis (symptoms, treatment are presented above) is much faster if a person monitors his immune status using immunomodulators and vitamins.
