Rumbling in the abdomen and diarrhea

A sensation like rumbling in the abdomen and a loose stool in addition, can upset the plans of any adult person. Sometimes he grumbles so much that people around him pay attention. Many young and old people dream of getting rid of the unpleasant symptom. Let's understand the reasons and try to understand what "intolerant" the intestines.

Mechanisms in norm and pathology of

We note at once that rumbling in the abdomen and diarrhea may not be related. Everyone knows the reaction of the intestine with a feeling of hunger. A diarrhea, for example, in women is with menstruation.

Rumbling is caused by increased formation of gases and their movement through the intestinal tube.

Irritation of the small intestine and increased peristalsis in the thick lead to accelerated movement of the contents and cause diarrhea. The gas bubbles are able to move upwards, falling into the stomach they manifest eructations. If the way out is difficult in both directions, then bloating( flatulence) is observed.

The sources of gases are normally air that enters the stomach and digestion process. Ingestion - during eating, smoking, chewing gum, little air enters the stomach( aerophagia), most of it is removed with eructations. Especially this reason is relevant for people snacking in a hurry, drinking soda water.

The smallest part - enters the small intestine, where it is absorbed into the blood or reaches the large intestine and is released naturally. In the gastric gas, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. An eructation has no smell. The appearance of an unpleasant odor when belching indicates a digestive disorder and is the reason to call a doctor.

Education in the course of normal digestion - in nature there are substances that the human body is not able to digest in the event of intake from food. Some varieties of sugars and complex carbohydrates( cellulose, lignin, pectins, chitin) become feces and form the basis.

However, when transiting through the intestine, microorganisms try to act on their enzyme systems, since these substances are suitable for their nutrition. Simultaneously, as a result of the cleavage in the intestine, proteins and fats are found.

It is important to note from which products the bubble and

are bubbling. There is a biochemical interaction with the formation of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, in 1/3 of people for unclear reasons, methane is synthesized. Intestinal gases are absorbed into the bloodstream in an insignificant amount, the main part is released through the rectum.

Some people think that the problem of methane formation is difficulty in draining the faeces, stools stay on the water surface for a long time. Since the composition of microflora in the intestines of different people is different, the causes of bubbling and the degree of gas formation are determined by the individual characteristics of the digestion of products.

An important point in the work of the intestines is the management of the nervous system. Against the background of undamaged mucous membrane, hyperactive contractions can occur with anxiety, fear. The stomach starts to "gurgle", suddenly pulls into the toilet.

With the pathology of the digestive system, the excretion of enzymes of the stomach, pancreas, bile flow, disbacteriosis is formed. Boring in the abdomen and diarrhea are uneasy due to increased gas formation, and in connection with loss of the intestine ability to properly digest food. Symptoms become permanent. They can not be quenched without the intervention of therapy.

What products cause bubbling?

The formation of gas affects more carbohydrate food, fats and proteins - to a lesser extent. As a rule, such products have laxative effect.

• Rafinose - found in leguminous crops( beans, peas, lentils).A smaller percentage includes pumpkin, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, asparagus, artichokes, cereals and vegetables.
• Lactose - is a part of milk and all dairy products( bread, ice cream, condiments and sauces, dry mixes).In the body of some people, the lactose enzyme that cleaves this substance is not enough. The maximum sign is common in Asian countries, Africa, among ethnic Indians. As a result, after eating dairy food, they have a strong rumbling in the abdomen, pain and diarrhea.
• Fructose - is necessarily found in fruits and vegetables, juices, soft drinks, is included as a filler in certain medicines. Therefore, if rumbling appeared on the background of treatment, then you need to carefully read the composition of the drug.
• Sorbitol is a common carbohydrate of vegetables and fruits. Used in the production of dietary products for patients with diabetes mellitus as a sweetener, in chewing gums without sugar.

In addition to carbohydrates, the consumption of starchy substances and dietary fiber is important. Starch in a significant amount is found in potatoes, corn, peas and cereals from wheat. It is able to enhance gas formation.

The only cereal product that does not affect rumbling in the stomach can be called rice

Dietary fibers in soluble form( pectins) swell, connecting with the liquid. A mass is formed that looks like a gel. They are in oats, peas, fruits, beans. In the large intestine, microorganisms produce gas from them. Insoluble fibers pass through the entire intestine, clean it without causing gas generation.

Variant of norm

If bubbling in the abdomen and diarrhea manifested once without disturbing the general state of health, then do not immediately seek the disease. It is necessary to analyze the eaten food, its quantity. After all, any overeating contributes to a sharp overload of all digestive enzyme systems. Their deficiency also causes temporary unpleasant symptoms.

Stressful situation, stress, unrest with manifestations of diarrhea and flatulence do not need to be treated with funds for intestinal flora, antibacterial drugs. Suitable light soothing, regime measures.

This contributes to the restoration of normal brain activity. If strong cramping pains in the abdomen are added to the symptoms, then the presence of irritable bowel syndrome can be assumed.

Hypodinamy - prolonged minimal physical activity at work and at home disrupts the process of peristalsis, gradually forms atony, constipation. In the initial stage, unstable stools, rumbling in the abdomen, increased gas formation are possible.

When is rumbling a symptom of the disease?

People with gastrointestinal disease often rumbles in the stomach and diarrhea occurs several times a day. In food poisoning, in addition to this symptom, the patient is troubled by cramping pains in the epigastrium, along the bowels, nausea and repeated vomiting.

The disease occurs after eating poor-quality products, poisonous substances( poisoning with fungi), non-compliance with processing technology. It differs from family outbreaks, it serves as one source of disease in children's groups.

Pancreatitis in chronic course with periods of exacerbation of inflammation of the pancreatic parenchyma causes the strongest pain sensations of the surrounding nature. Against the background of the attack and the stage of remission, patients are suffering from diarrhea, flatulence and rumbling in the abdomen. There is an obvious connection with the lack of enzymes in the small intestine.

Stomach ulcer - despite the main lesion of the stomach, tears the whole process of digestion, because the intestines receive food in an insufficiently processed form. This increases the load on other organs, changes the secretion process and the synthesis of enzymes.

Dysbacteriosis of the intestine - refers to the temporary state of failure of digestion due to a violation of the composition of the flora. It can occur after a long course of use of different drugs, mostly antibiotics. Children are especially sensitive. Rumbling in the abdomen takes a permanent character, liquid stools occur 1-2 times a day.

Other non-infectious causes may be:

• Negative effects of drugs, excessive use of laxatives, fashionable dietary supplements for weight loss.
• Allergy to food.
• The use of incompatible food( for example, cucumbers and milk, borsch and bananas, herring and milk), which increases peristalsis and irritation of the intestines.

Why problems arise during pregnancy?

Pregnant women can exacerbate diseases that have previously occurred in a latent form. This applies to gastritis, pancreatitis. If the diarrhea is not frequent and does not disturb the overall well-being, then you should treat calmly in the abdomen. One of the reasons may be polyhydramnios or multiple pregnancies, when the growth of the uterus squeezes the surrounding organs.

It is recommended to include more fruits and vegetables in the diet of the pregnant woman, respectively, the substances stimulating the peristalsis will flow into the intestine.

Why does the babe and older children grumble in the abdomen?

The child's breast age is the beginning of one's own digestion in conditions of complete dependence on the mother's milk. In the intestinal flora, lactobacilli normally prevail. Another microflora begins to "colonize" the intestine gradually. The negative effect is the lack of lactose.

This symptom is revealed by constant diarrhea, rumbling in the abdomen of the baby, increased excitement and screaming. The child feels hungry. Symptoms should be reported immediately to the doctor. The breastfeeding mother must follow the diet exactly. Any deviation will affect the health of the baby.

At an older age, manifestations may indicate intolerance to complementary foods, nutritional mixtures, and helminthic invasion. If the child was treated for inflammatory diseases with antibacterial agents, the clinic causes dysbacteriosis.

Diagnosis

At the doctor's appointment, you should tell about the dependence of symptoms on food, the frequency of diarrhea, the presence of pain, eructation. The examination is necessary to exclude chronic diseases of the digestive system. Usually prescribed:

• laboratory blood test( total and for the presence of protein, sugar, liver enzymes and pancreas);
• examination of feces for scat, hidden blood, eggs of worms, if necessary, on the intestinal flora and bacteriological isolation of a specific pathogen;
• ultrasound of the liver, pancreas allows you to identify the effects of chronic diseases;
• X-ray examination with contrasting is indicated for exclusion of tumor, gastric ulcer;
• fibrogastroscopy and colonoscopy - endoscopic methods that allow to examine the inner surface of the stomach and intestines, to take biological material for cytology.

Treatment

Decide what to do with rumbling in the abdomen and diarrhea can be consulted with a doctor and having the results of the survey. Perhaps you will have to closely monitor the foods you eat and give up everything that strengthens the gassing and intestinal stimulation.

You should eat without long interruptions and overeating.

Not recommended are fashion diets for weight loss, vegetarianism. To quickly reduce meteorism and rumbling Dietel, Simethicone, activated carbon, Motilium, Espumizan, enzyme preparations are suitable. To reduce the ingestion of air, you should eat slowly, chew your food well, do not be distracted by conversations.

People with a constant eructation are better off giving up chewing gum, carbonated drinks. If there is an abnormal balance of microflora in the intestine, it is necessary to select a drug from the group of probiotics. It will help restore the body to useful bacteria. To enhance the action, prebiotics are recommended.

When detecting infectious diseases, worms, anti-parasitic treatment with special agents is used, antibacterial drugs are prescribed. In the treatment of gastritis, liver disease, pancreas, there are many features that doctors know about. Therefore, the treatment itself is harmful.

Folk methods for eliminating bloating, rumbling and diarrhea include broths:

• oak bark;
• chamomile;
• rice;
• grenade crusts;
• of fennel seeds;
• mint.

Reducing diarrhea contributes to the reception of peas of black pepper, strong tea without sugar

What to do for prevention?

To prevent abdominal rupture and diarrhea will help a serious attitude towards consumed foods. You should accustom yourself to the regularity of food, do not eat incompatible food, give up carbonated drinks. Mineral water can be drunk only after the gas has been released.

If the connection with excitement comes first, you need to understand the problem, learn to relax, feel confident, exercise. Mums need to monitor the nutrition of children, nursing - and for their diet. Schoolchildren should not be allowed to buy fast food, replace healthy food with dry mixtures.

Although bloating, rumbling and stool failure do not require emergency medical intervention, it is better to consult a doctor and take a minimum of examination. This will help to maintain health, identify the disease in the initial stage, treat it with the least problems and without complications.
