What will you do if you are constipated?
Deliberately eating bad stomachs? Drink hard to soften poop?
No, this will only add to your blockage!
Although everyone is very busy and has gastrointestinal problems, constipation may come to you all the time if the method is wrong.
Today we have invited a professional doctor from the Department of Digestive Internal Medicine, who will tell everyone how to avoid misunderstanding and make the intestines and stomach better.
This is our little gastrointestinal friend:
First, drinking more water can soften stool?
This is a typical [cramming], which is generally useless.
When drinking less water, the colon will indeed reabsorb the already small amount of water in the stool, causing the stool to dry up.
However, most of the water we drink was absorbed by the stomach and duodenum within 2 hours, unable to reach the intestinal tract, and even unable to save constipation!
If you are constipated, the doctor will advise you to adjust your diet and life rules while adding appropriate drugs.
In recent years, laxative drugs give priority to lactulose to retain fecal water, increase fecal volume, stimulate colon peristalsis, and further help restore colon physiological rhythm.
A close friend of intestines and stomach reminds you: drinking water cannot soften poop ~
Second, if poop stays in the intestines for a long time, the mouth will stink?
Anyone who says so should fight.
First of all, after feces stay in the colon for a long time, only water will be reabsorbed into the blood, while other substances cannot be absorbed.
Secondly, the gas generated by feces in the colon can only become farts and be discharged out of the body under the action of intra-abdominal pressure, and cannot reach the oral cavity upward.
So even if constipation lasts for several days, your mouth will not stink.
Three, fart is very smelly, indicating intestinal problems?
Talk nonsense!
The main culprit for fart odor is actually the food we eat. When we eat too much high-protein food such as fish, milk and eggs or foods with special smell such as garlic and onion, fart will become smelly.
In addition, each person farts as many as 10 times a day on average, and it is normal to fart more occasionally. However, if there is persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, blackened stool or mucous pus and blood, then one cannot be careless.
Four, eating cold drinks will make the intestines catch cold?
Not really.
After eating cold drinks, the reason for bowel sounds or diarrhea is that cold drinks will accelerate gastrointestinal movement and emptying of some people, or cold drinks are not hygienic.
Usually, cold drinks will be heated to 37 degrees in the stomach soon after drinking, and only the oral cavity and esophagus will be [frozen], not the intestines, causing diarrhea.
Five, often eat soup and rice is not good for the stomach?
Don’t worry, the stomach is not that fragile.
Soup and rice stay together in the stomach for 1-2 hours after entering the stomach, mix with gastric juice in the stomach, and digest into paste through continuous movement, stirring and digestion of the stomach.
Therefore, drinking soup before meals, soaking rice in soup, drinking soup after meals and eating it into the stomach are all effects in the end!
In addition, there is no clear evidence to prove that soup and rice can hurt the stomach or indigestion. I really feel uncomfortable, it may be that there is something wrong with your digestive organs, and you need to take medicine ~
Six, glutinous rice is difficult to digest?
Probably eaten raw… … …
People often hear people say: “glutinous rice is not easy to digest, eat less]. Is this really the case?
In fact, newly cooked glutinous rice is actually easier to digest than rice, and it is really more difficult to digest only after glutinous rice is cooled and lumped.
Not to mention the temperature, glutinous rice is difficult to digest. It is all hooligan!
A little close friend of intestines and stomach has something to say: zongzi is divided into hot and cold oh ~
Seven, [constipation] is not conducive to health?
First of all, there is no such thing as constipation in medicine.
Secondly, it is entirely normal for poop to stay in the intestines [overnight].
Because food has to pass through our stomach, small intestine and large intestine one by one, this process usually takes about 24-48 hours.
So don’t worry, [stool] itself is a false proposition. It is normal to defecate 3 ~ 5 times a week.
Eight, take a hundred steps after dinner, can promote absorption?
Moderate exercise after meals may relieve discomfort such as abdominal distension after meals, but it cannot directly promote digestion and absorption.
Digestion and absorption mainly depend on digestive juice (various digestive enzymes, bile, etc.) in gastrointestinal tract to help.
When diseases affect the quantity and function of gastrointestinal digestive enzymes, dyspepsia will be caused, such as:
- Acute pancreatitis convalescent chronic pancreatitis after pancreatectomy
If you occasionally eat too much or a high-fat and high-protein diet, you need to supplement appropriate amount of pancreatin to promote digestion.
Small close friends of intestines and stomach stressed again: be careful about big fish and big meat ~
Nine, poop sticking to the toilet is a sign of intestinal cancer?
In fact, it is more likely that… vegetables are eaten less.
The characteristics of stool are closely related to the food eaten. When there is too little cellulose in the food and too much high protein and high fat components such as meat, stool will stick to the toilet and cannot be washed away… It has nothing to do with intestinal cancer.
Clinically, Bristol Stool Classification is commonly used to divide stool into 7 categories to judge whether stool is normal:
Normal poop should be between 3 and 5, shaped like bananas or sausages. Of course, occasional poop of other shapes is also allowed.
Ten, squatting toilet is better than sitting toilet?
It depends on people.
When squatting, our anorectal angle will be obtuse, which is conducive to using abdominal pressure to assist defecation. Constipation people can really consider trying squatting.
However, the effect varies from person to person. Some people suffer from constipation for a long time and cannot pull it out even if they squat down. Let’s see a doctor.
Attention, the elderly, weak or inconvenient people, it is better not to squat, toilet is more convenient and safer for them.
Having said so much, the key to gastrointestinal health still lies in: developing regular living and eating habits.
Although it is not easy to do it, at least we can not mess around or add obstacles.
Secondly, during the physical examination, don’t forget to give the gastrointestinal tract an examination. If the best treatment time is delayed due to neglect of the examination, it will be a big loss.
In addition, it is necessary to have a sense of gastrointestinal health and think of them more. Don’t wait for the time when you can’t pull it out or the time when you can’t finish pulling it out before you think of your intestines and stomach. If you don’t say what you suffer, it will also affect your mood.
Finally, I hope everyone can pay more attention to their gastrointestinal health, do not believe rumors, seek doctor’s advice and drug assistance in time, and do not delay their illness because they are ashamed to speak.
