Inflammation of the small intestine: symptoms and treatment, details

Important! Chronic enteritis has a "wave-like" course: after a long period of incomplete (partial) or complete remission, as a rule, an exacerbation phase begins. Such leaps are often mistaken for an acute form of injury.

Diarrhea

Diarrhea

Frequent urge to defecate (from 4-5 to 10-20 times) and an increase in the volume of bowel movements. Excessive accumulation of water (H2O) and salt (NaCl) in the intestinal cavity leads to an increase in osmotic pressure, which accelerates the movement of food through the intestine.
Changes in the structure of feces

Changes in the structure of feces

Fatty clayey or liquid feces interspersed with unprocessed foods. Nutrient components (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) are not sufficiently broken down, which makes it difficult to assimilate them.
Flatulence, distension of the upper abdomen

Flatulence, distension of the upper abdomen

An enlarged abdomen that “deflates” after releasing gas (flatulence) or going to the toilet (bowel movement). A meager amount of enzymes and bile is not able to digest food, and the process of its decomposition is accompanied by fermentation.
Abdominal pain

Abdominal pain

Aching and sharp pain near the navel, on the right, in the lower abdomen or throughout its region, aggravated after eating. Infectious / toxic damage to the nerve nodes (ganglionitis), as well as compression of the visceral organs, lymph nodes and diaphragm, when swollen, provoke spasmodic contraction of the muscles of the thin intestines.
Nausea and vomiting

Nausea and vomiting

Unpleasant sensation in the epigastric region and / or throat, which periodically leads to the involuntary ejection of recently eaten food from the stomach. Food toxins formed due to digestive disorders, as well as waste products of pathogens, incl. viruses, enter the medulla oblongata and stimulate the vomiting center.
Subfebrile temperature

Subfebrile temperature

Increase in body temperature (hyperthermia) within 37.1–38.0 ° C. Pathogenic microorganisms secrete pyrogen, which, acting on the center of temperature regulation, causes fever.
Metabolic failure (metabolism)

Metabolic failure (metabolism)

Dramatic weight loss, muscle atrophy, constant hunger and weakness, aggravated by the consumption of dairy products. Insufficient secretion of enzymes and their weak activity does not allow for the processing of nutritional components, which leads to milk intolerance (hypolactasia), a decrease in the concentration of glucose in the blood (hypoglycemia) and a lack of amino acids, which are also necessary for building muscle fibers.
Mineral deficiency

Mineral deficiency

Symptoms are manifested by one or a combination of the following: Pain, cramps in the muscles of the body and face, peeling, dry skin and mucous membranes, brittle nails and hair, distorted taste, odor and poor appetite. Deficiency develops against the background of a violation of the absorption process of micro-, macroelements in the intestine, such as calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe), which are excreted in increased quantities with loose stools.
Hypovitaminosis, up to vitamin deficiency

Hypovitaminosis, up to vitamin deficiency

Symptoms are manifested by one or a combination of the following: Fatigue, poor memory, drowsiness, numbness of the tongue and "goose bumps" in the body, bleeding gums. Deficiency develops against the background of a violation of the absorption of vitamins in the intestine, for example, ascorbic acid (C), retinol (A), tocopherol (E), B vitamins, which are excreted in an increased amount with liquid chair
Malfunction of the endocrine system

Malfunction of the endocrine system

Symptoms are manifested by one or a combination of the following: Apathy, frequent urination, sexual dysfunction and loss of libido, chilliness, low blood pressure (hypotension), infertility, hyperpigmentation of the skin. Due to protein deficiency, the work of all endocrine glands (genital, thyroid, adrenal cortex, pituitary and hypothalamus) is disrupted, since there is no material for the synthesis of hormones.

Reference! Symptoms of enteritis are not specific - they are typical for many diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as a result of which it is unacceptable to diagnose yourself on your own. Only a gastroenterologist can determine the cause of poor health and prescribe treatment after an appropriate examination.

Drinking plenty of fluids is the primary and most important condition for the successful treatment of acute enteritis.
