If you suffer from chronic diarrhea, which appeared after a course of antibiotics, this article can help you. After reading this article, you will understand why you are sick, and if everything you tried did not help, you can use a natural approach to restore your health.
You are not alone. According to medical statistics, diarrhea associated with antibiotics is observed in 5-35% of patients taking antibiotics. These numbers vary depending on many factors, such as the specific type of antibiotic and the duration of treatment, the state of human health, the existing condition.
Diarrhea after antibiotics often affects people with reduced immunity, young children, the elderly, people after chemotherapy, radiation, certain medications, alcoholics and drug addicts, etc. D. Another risk factor is time in the hospital. Every week in the hospital, taking a broad-spectrum antibiotic can increase the risk of chronic diarrhea caused by Clostridia difficile.
Chronic diarrhea means diarrhea persists for more than two weeks, and a person has three or more liquid stools per day. Many people experience mild diarrhea, but half a million Americans suffer from Clostridia difficile (C. diff). He annually makes 30 thousand deaths. This is really a super bug. Doctors are unanimous that C. difficile occurs mainly after a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
What happens after using antibiotics?
Some health care workers call chronic antibiotic-like diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) after antibiotics. This is partly true because in the case of diarrhea after antibiotics, the colon, various organs and systems are involved in this process.
It is known that antibiotics are a powerful weapon against microbes. However, antibiotics are a double-edged sword; they can save lives, but they can cause serious side effects. First, antibiotics do not kill all germs. Some of the potent harmful microorganisms survive, leading to antibiotic-resistant species. Secondly, antibiotics indiscriminately kill bacteria, both beneficial and harmful; therefore, antibiotics first kill the tender, benevolent intestinal flora. Third, antibiotics weaken the immune response or cause allergic reactions. All of the above may apply to chronic diarrhea.
A broad-specific antibiotic kills friendly intestinal flora. These bacteria are called friendly, because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Some experts believe that the friendly intestinal flora is a vital organ of the human body. Friendly intestinal flora helps us digest food. It also produces vitamins and some substances that have anti-cancer properties, regulate cholesterol, remove toxins, etc. Without good bacteria, we lose these vital functions.
Most importantly, friendly intestinal flora is our strong defense against harmful bacteria, yeast, viruses and parasites. When antibiotics kill good bacteria, opportunistic infections have a place to live and plenty of food, so it is easy to tolerate the gastrointestinal tract.
Harmful bacteria, yeast, viruses and parasites cause great damage. They eat our foods, which leads to many shortcomings; produce extremely harmful toxins. They irritate the intestinal wall and create inflammation and porous intestine. As a result, undigested food, toxins and microorganisms pass through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream, poisoning the nervous, hormonal, cardiovascular, and immune systems. Constant fermentation, irritation and inflammation in the colon cause chronic diarrhea.
Natural, non-drug therapy can repair damage from antibiotics and restore the natural process that keeps our small and large intestines from harmful bacteria, yeast and parasites.
By the way, how does the human body naturally keep the intestines from harmful invaders?
1. High gastric acid destroys harmful bacteria and yeast, prevents their entry into the small intestine. On the contrary, low acidity in the stomach makes this gate open.
2. In the queue for protection are the digestive enzymes of the pancreas, from which we are vitally dependent on the antibacterial action of pancreatic juice. The pancreatic digestive enzymes digest not only our products, but also all the harmful bacteria. As I medically explain in my book “a healthy pancreas, healthy you,” acidic changes in the body and the acidity of bile and pancreatic juice reduce the antibacterial effect; therefore, small intestinal bacteria SIBO multiply. Gas, bloating, cramps, diarrhea are common symptoms of SIBO
3. The third critical factor that prevails in bad bacteria to adhere to the intestinal wall is washed off in the small intestine. 35-50 cups of a mixture of saliva, secretion of the stomach, bile, pancreas and intestinal juices per day make a huge deep river, which washes away harmful bacteria and prevents colonization in the small intestine. walls
4. The proper functioning of special muscle valves (sphincters) stops reflux. For example, the ileocecal valve prevents contamination of bacteria returning from the colon to the small intestine.
5. The last and vital way to keep harmful bacteria under control - friendly intestinal flora
In addition, chronic diarrhea after antibiotics causes essential nutrient deficiencies, dehydration, which worsens the situation. There is no magic bullet for chronic antibiotic-related diarrhea. Contrary to popular belief, yogurt consumption or poor quality probiotics will not help restore friendly intestinal flora.
We can draw an analogy between the gastrointestinal tract after using an antibiotic and abandoned, full weeds-farmers. fields. All farmers know that the fields must be well prepared for growing crops. The same thing happens in an inflamed, toxic colon full of bad bacteria, yeast and parasites. The friendly intestinal flora simply does not have enough space for growth.
Alternative medicine focuses on the root of the problem and can restore the natural defense mechanism that keeps the colon healthy. I see it every day. Some of these natural, non-medicinal approaches are:
• Cleansing the entire body with hydrocolonotherapy and restoring friendly intestinal flora
• Medical diet for chronic diarrhea
• Drinking healing mineral water made from real thermal-thermal salt of Karlovy Vary
• Herbal medicine
• Nutritional supplements
• Acupuncture and more
Here it takes time, life style changes and full cooperation between the patient and a knowledgeable holistic professional to restore all these natural mechanisms and to treat chronic antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
If you suffer from chronic diarrhea after antibiotics, do not get used to it. Do not use stomach cramps, frequent, urgent stools, knowing all the available toilets on your way, wear diapers, etc. Do not use fatigue, anxiety, depression and many other symptoms that accompany chronic diarrhea associated with antibiotics, It can be reversed natural, non-medicinal methods of alternative medicine.
