Diarrhea in pancreatitis: treatment, causes and how to stop
Violation of the digestive system not only leads to serious damage of the body, but also to the emergence of severe pain and other unpleasant symptoms, including diarrhea.
Patients with severe or prolonged as a form of chronic inflammation of the pancreas, find themselves bowel disorder in the form of diarrhea.
It is explained by its occurrence by pathological disorders in the organ that reduce the exocrine function of the pancreas. Diarrhea in pancreatitis specialists are called pancreatogenic. And not just. It's all about pancreatic juice that disrupts the digestive process through excessive admission to the duodenum. Leaving this fact without attention is impossible! I need treatment.
Causes and clinical picture
In my opinion experts completely unanimous: in chronic pancreatitis is more than 95% of cases, diarrhea occurs due to lack of digestive dysfunction and transplant pancreatic enzymes into the intestine. Confirmation of this is the feces, which has a mushy consistency, which emits a stench. In addition, he stands out in large numbers. Since feces contain in abundance the particles of unquenched food, they have an oily, fatty consistency, they are very poorly washed off the walls of the toilet bowl.
In case of prolonged diarrhea with copious feces, the body loses a significant amount of fluid can be a result of which dehydration with electrolyte disturbances, polyhypovitaminosis( vitamin deficiency), anemia.
Treatment of diarrhea is necessary, because as a patient who already has an unstable condition, will only aggravate the situation. In this case, you need to immediately contact your doctor, because complications will make themselves felt very soon. As a result, the feces will contain not only not digested products, but also starch, and even fibers of muscle tissue.
How to get rid of diarrhea?
At the first stage with the task of cleansing the body cures enema, moreover, the most ordinary. Treatment consists in washing the intestine, since it is the stagnant particles of food that lead to many complications.
Many people are afraid to make an enema, because they believe that this procedure is capable of "annoying" the intestinal microflora. But this treatment is not able to relieve the intestines of all the beneficial bacteria in any case, but it will certainly help to remove the harmful reproducing organisms. Otherwise, diarrhea will persecute the patient for a very long time, exactly until the moment when the body does not get rid of the same harmful bacteria.
Bowel flushing is very simple :
- a contract is done 2-3 enemas;
- the water temperature should be exactly 38 degrees Celsius( otherwise you can "earn" serious consequences, up to the destruction of microflora);
- for 2 liters of water is added a teaspoon of baking soda, and a tablespoon of table salt.
If possible, the last component can be replaced with sea salt
receiving treatment bowel solution is carried out for 4-10 days, 2 times a day. Everything depends on the degree of contamination. Adult person for one procedure requires 2 liters of solution, and the child - 1 liter.
Instead of enema, you can use various cleansing herbal decoctions created on the basis of such plants as:
- plantain,
- mint,
- balm,
- oregano,
- sage,
- dogrose
- chamomile.
Such treatment not only relieves the intestines from harmful bacteria, but also saturates the body with energy.
One of the best remedies for diarrhea, which cleanses the intestines as effectively as possible, is the Tibetan monks tea, the recipe of which is so common that it will not be difficult to find it on the net. It is used 3 liters per day for 4-10 days. It is important at this time to observe a hunger strike. Only in this case will the people's remedy be as effective as possible.
To stop diarrhea in pancreatitis is important in any case. Since in the intestine when there is a large amount of mucus, decaying food and bacteria, it is necessary to restore its microflora.
