Causes and treatment of intestinal dyspepsia
Intestinal dyspepsia refers to disorders of the digestive system and is accompanied by incomplete breakdown of food, which causes the release of toxins in large quantities and the multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms. Dysbiosis often becomes a consequence of such a pathology.
Causes of intestinal dyspepsia
Intestinal dyspepsia can develop against the background of improper nutrition, in this case it is called "alimentary dyspepsia". In case of a violation associated with the enzymatic activity of the digestive organs, they speak of the occurrence of enzymatic dyspepsia.
The cause of alimentary intestinal dyspepsia can be a monotonous diet for a long time when eating one type of food. This type of dyspepsia is subdivided into several subspecies: fermentative, putrefactive and fatty dyspepsia. Enzymatic dyspepsia is primarily associated with insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes that are secreted by the stomach, pancreas, small intestine, and gallbladder.
The cause of intestinal dyspepsia can be the consumption of foods rich in carbohydrates and fermenting drinks, in this case they speak of fermentative dyspepsia. As a result of this pathology, fermentation reactions occur in the intestinal lumen, causing a rumbling in the abdomen, increased gas formation, the patient is tormented by frequent watery stools. A laboratory study of fecal masses reveals a large amount of starch, acids of organic origin, fiber, bacteria that cause fermentation.
Protein-rich foods can be the cause of putrefactive dyspepsia, provided they are consumed in large quantities for a long time. It should be noted that mutton and pork are especially rich in proteins. Putrid dyspepsia is accompanied by frequent loose stools, which are characterized by a dark color. Toxic substances formed during the breakdown of proteins cause intoxication of the patient's body. Patients complain of headache, nausea, weakness, and apathy.
Fat dyspepsia is characterized by abundant light-colored stools, which contain a large concentration of undigested fatty acids and simple fats. The cause of this type of dyspepsia is often food containing predominantly fats, which are slowly absorbed in the human body.
Enzymatic intestinal dyspepsia may not be accompanied by obvious changes in the intestinal lumen (functional dyspepsia), but may occur with changes in some digestive organs.
Enzymatic dyspepsia is often accompanied by inflammatory diseases of the stomach, pancreas, small intestine, as well as disorders of the excretory function of the gallbladder. In addition, a number of factors can serve as the reason for the development of this pathological process. Dyspepsia associated with enzyme deficiency can be accompanied by a metallic taste in the mouth, nausea, bloating, loss of appetite, rapid attacks of spastic pain, flatulence, and frequent stools. The patient notes weakness, he suffers from headaches, he gets tired quickly. In a laboratory study, fragments of undigested food are found in the feces.
Intestinal dyspepsia treatment
Before starting treatment for intestinal dyspepsia, the type of disease is determined in order to choose the right diet on the first day of therapy. With alimentary dyspepsia, the patient is recommended to completely refrain from eating for two days. The transition to a habitual diet should be gradual and consistent. In the case of fermentative dyspepsia, the patient should refrain from carbohydrate-rich foods. With fatty dyspepsia, a low-fat diet is prescribed, with putrefactive dyspepsia, the patient needs to limit the intake of protein foods. Treatment of enzymatic dyspepsia requires taking medications that contain digestive enzymes.
