It creates a balanced environment in the digestive tract, facilitating the body’s natural healing processes and relieving symptoms associated with diarrhoea.

Diarrhoea is a common digestive condition characterized by loose or watery stools, often accompanied by increased frequency of bowel movements. It occurs when the digestive system is unable to properly absorb water from the stool, leading to an excess of fluid in the intestines. Diarrhoea can be caused by various factors, including infections, dietary issues, medications, and underlying medical conditions.

The digestive process involves the breakdown of food in the stomach and small intestine, with the absorption of nutrients and water. In normal circumstances, the large intestine absorbs excess water from the stool, resulting in the formation of well-formed feces. However, in the case of diarrhoea, this absorption process is disrupted.

Several mechanisms can lead to diarrhoea:

  • Infections: Viruses, bacteria, or parasites can cause irritation and inflammation in the digestive tract, leading to increased fluid secretion and reduced absorption.
  • Inflammatory Conditions: Chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or Crohn’s disease involve inflammation of the intestinal lining, disrupting normal absorption processes.
  • Malabsorption: Certain conditions, such as lactose intolerance or celiac disease, can interfere with nutrient absorption, contributing to diarrhoea.
  • Toxins and Medications: Ingesting certain toxins or medications can irritate the digestive tract, resulting in diarrhoea as a defensive response.
  • Nervous System Influence: Stress, anxiety, or certain neurological conditions can affect the functioning of the intestines, leading to diarrhoea.

When diarrhoea occurs, the transit time of food through the digestive system is accelerated, limiting the absorption of water and nutrients. This results in the passage of loose or liquid stools. The body may also increase fluid secretion into the intestines to flush out harmful agents, contributing to the watery consistency of diarrhoea.

It’s important to address the underlying cause of diarrhoea, as chronic or severe cases can lead to dehydration and nutrient deficiencies. Hydration, dietary adjustments, and, in some cases, medical intervention are commonly employed to manage and resolve diarrhoea.

Diarrhoea can be a symptom of various diseases and disorders, ranging from mild and temporary conditions to more severe and chronic illnesses. Some common causes of diarrhoea include:

  • Gastroenteritis: Inflammation of the stomach and intestines, often caused by viral or bacterial infections. Commonly known as the stomach flu.
  • Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD):
    • Crohn’s Disease: Chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.
    • Ulcerative Colitis: Inflammation and ulcers in the colon and rectum.
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits, including diarrhoea.
  • Celiac Disease: An autoimmune disorder where ingestion of gluten damages the small intestine, leading to malabsorption and diarrhoea.
  • Lactose Intolerance: Inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products, leading to diarrhoea after consuming such products.
  • Food Poisoning: Ingestion of contaminated food or water, often caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
  • Medication Side Effects: Some medications, especially antibiotics, can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria and cause diarrhoea.
  • Hyperthyroidism: Overactive thyroid gland can lead to increased bowel movements and diarrhoea.
  • Malabsorption Syndromes:
    • Short Bowel Syndrome: Insufficient absorption of nutrients due to a shortened small intestine.
    • Pancreatic Insufficiency: Inadequate production of digestive enzymes by the pancreas.
  • Colorectal Cancer: Advanced stages of colon or rectal cancer may present with persistent diarrhoea.
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery: Certain procedures may lead to changes in bowel habits and diarrhoea.
  • Nervous System Disorders: Conditions affecting the nervous system, such as autonomic neuropathy, can impact bowel function.

It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional if experiencing persistent or severe diarrhoea, as it may indicate an underlying health issue that requires proper diagnosis and management.
