Many people have at least once in their life encountered such an unpleasant problem as an upset bowel. It involves a violation of the normal activity of the gastrointestinal tract. Doctors call this functional disease irritable bowel syndrome. Moreover, when conducting an examination, there are few signs confirming its presence.
According to many scientific publications, about 18% of all adults on our planet suffer from intestinal disorders. And this is not surprising, because there can be many reasons for this. The most common and common is considered to be an unstable moral state of a person, that is, a stressful situation or prolonged depression. The classic consequence of a stomach or intestinal infection is its upset. The risk group primarily includes people suffering from dysbiosis due to the deterioration of microflora.
Equally important is the human diet. Currently, there are a huge number of establishments offering fast food, which is liked by the overwhelming majority of the population. But it is worth remembering that such dishes do not contain natural and healthy ingredients. In addition, more and more genomodified products appear in supermarkets every year, which not only do not bring benefits to our body, but can also seriously harm.
So, an intestinal upset can cause a daily absorption of fatty foods, as well as foods rich in fiber. Cases of allergies to a certain product, which is expressed in diarrhea, are not excluded. Sometimes women have a slight intestinal upset at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, since at that time certain hormonal changes occur.
In case of poisoning by poor-quality food, a functional intestinal upset occurs. In this case, the patient may have a high fever, he feels chills, a feeling of nausea and weakness. This type of disease is treated with gastric lavage; in severe cases, the help of a doctor is required.
Bowel disorder : symptoms.
With all types of disorders, the patient experiences pain in the abdomen, which is accompanied by bloating. Symptomatic manifestation is diarrhea or constipation, and these signs can succeed each other. With intestinal irritation, symptoms occur mainly in the morning, seizures can be both quick and long. Often a person suffers from flatulence, that is, excessive emission of gases (it feels as if the stomach is bursting).
In a stressful situation, the brain can give false signals to defecation when it seems that you want to go to the toilet, and there is no stool. In this situation, the patient feels severe pain in the anus and rectum. All of the above signs and symptoms are manifested with different strength and frequency, each person individually. For example, severe diarrhea leads to dehydration of the whole body, and with a lack of magnesium, the patient becomes irritable, the psychological state is unstable, in addition, chronic fatigue is observed, which is almost impossible to fight - as a result, performance is lost.

It is necessary to eat in small portions, but often, carefully chewing food. And you should buy only natural products that are useful for microflora. Moderate exercise and teas based on natural herbs will be excellent helpers on the road to recovery. With the right approach, an upset bowel disappears quickly.
