Maintaining Intestinal Health
Many foods that we eat, other substances we consume and our lifestyles contribute to intestinal disorders. Highly processed foods, alcohol, medications and tobacco are difficult for our body to break down and may also physically damage the digestive lining. Processed foods are also deficient in nutrients so not only does the body have to work extra hard to digest the food, but it also gets depleted of the things it needs to do its work. Water and fibre intake is important to have proper moisture and bulk in the stool and make bowel movements regular.
Stress, anxiety and other emotional concerns put our nervous system in an excited state. Our digestive processes are only fully functional when our nervous system is relaxed. Sedentary lifestyles decrease movement throughout the digestive tract. As our transit time slows there is more opportunity for the re-absorption of processed toxins and greater chance of microbial overgrowth. Slow transit time also dries the stool and makes it more difficult to pass. Our body is designed so that each time we eat a meal we have a bowel movement. Many individuals can be considered constipated and have bowel movements less than once daily. One can eat the most nutritious food but if the intestinal membrane is not in good working order the body will not be able to absorb the nutrients.
Some of the most important players in intestinal health are not part of our own body. Friendly intestinal bacteria, often called probiotics, are an essential part of digestion. They break down food particles, manufacture vitamins and prevent the infection of the tract with other microbes. Each bowel movement actually contains millions of these friendly bacteria; they are in a constant state of renewal. Many concerns like indigestion, gas, bloating and constipation can be due to an imbalance of the intestinal bacteria. It is easy to upset this balance by improper diet or taking medications like antibiotics.
Food that support intestinal health are vegetarian protein, raw vegetables and fruits, whole grains, brown rice, potatoes, carrots, turnips, soy products and green drinks. Consume fermented products (if you have healthy digestion) like yogurt, kefir, quark, buttermilk and natural cheeses to replenish the friendly bacteria that assist with nutrient digestion. Broil or bake fish and meats instead of frying. Steam vegetables lightly. Limit or avoid: sugar, refined foods, alcohol, nicotine, coffee and other intestinal irritants.
COMMON INTESTINAL CONCERNS
Crohn's Disease
Crohn's Disease is an inflammation of the small intestine but it can affect any part of the digestive tract, including the mouth and stomach. It has symptoms that are very similar to colitis. Bouts of abdominal pain and cramping with diarrhea occur and may be emotionally debilitating. The intestine becomes scarred which leads to a decreased ability to absorb nutrients.
Diverticulitis
Diverticulitis occurs when the muscles around the intestine weaken and the tissue forms pouches, or diverticula. If these pouches become filled with fecal matter they get infected and inflamed, causing diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is usually the result of low dietary fibre, high dietary sugar, chronic constipation or intestinal infections.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
IBS mimics Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis but does not make visible lesions in the bowel. The causes of irritable bowel are an overgrowth of microbes, poor diet, emotions and food sensitivities. The bowel reacts to these irritants with strong intestinal contractions.
Leaky Gut Syndrome
Leaky gut syndrome refers to an irritation of the intestine that leads to the absorption of incompletely digested food particles. These particles then go on to stimulate an immune reaction. This condition is believed to be the root cause of many inflammatory reactions in the body like arthritis and eczema. It can also be the result of inflammation from other intestinal conditions.
Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative Colitis occurs when small ulcers develop on the mucous lining of the large intestine. The colon becomes unable to absorb nutrients and water. Part of the underlying cause of colitis may be an autoimmune reaction. This is when the body attacks its own cells. Other causes include low dietary fibre, high dietary sugar, high-refined carbohydrate intake, food allergies, stress, unresolved emotional conflicts and antibiotic use.
