Currently dominated by models based on the dietary cereal products, which are inedible for humans, and from the intake must be heat-treated - this means that it becomes possible to be processed through the digestive tract and reduces their harmfulness (raw beans, potatoes and other produce immediate response in the form of acute gastric complaints).
Long-term, long-term consumption of foods based on processed products must in time lead to disturbances of the gastrointestinal tract.
Currently, we are mostly dealing with diseases of the stomach and duodenum, because there food goes immediately after swallowing, in a state virtually unchanged.
Symptoms such as hyperacidity, liver pain, belching and flatulence are so common that it is no longer regarded them as a disease.
An additional factor to the occurrence of usposabiającym dysfunction of the upper gastrointestinal tract is eating large amounts of refined sugar, which intensifies the secretion of gastric acid. In the stomach, duodenum and the rest of the small intestine to digest food and absorb the simple sugars, so the slurry settling in the large intestine virtually devoid of sugars, which makes it less toxic. For these reasons, this episode of the disease are less common.
In addition, some toxic compounds is already neutralized.
Substance, which practically is not digested in the gastrointestinal tract is a fiber. He goes to the colon can practically unchanged and is irritating to the epithelium covering the intestinal wall.
This causes acceleration of peristalsis. For this reason, it is officially recommended as beneficial to the work that affects the smooth muscle of the intestine.
It is believed that by speeding up the movement vermicular easier to get rid of the fecal masses from the body and are contained in these harmful products of metabolism and other compounds.
It is true, but in addition to stimulation of peristalsis, fiber teasing epithelium induces inflammation, which can lead to ulcers and cancer.
Here a role can play certain chemicals as preservatives, improvers and stabilizers, which can easily penetrate through the damaged wall of the gastrointestinal tract and worsen inflammation. Modern medicine has already noted that substances containing the fiber degrades the status of patients so it is recommended to avoid and attention - to reduce sugar!
Unfortunately, fat, as harmful, also is not recommended.
Meanwhile, animal fats have a soothing effect and are absorbed very well. Similarly, proteins of animal origin, whose bioavailability is 70%. For this reason, optimal diet would be best possible in the treatment of this disease.
In accordance with the recommendations, it is poorly residual, low-carbohydrate and is composed of neutralizing excess acid.
Other diets can be used to alleviate symptoms, but fail to cure the disease.
Optimal nutrition quickly removes ailments of the gastrointestinal tract.
In the case of poorer sections need several days to several weeks. Colon ulcer healing takes longer, usually from one to several months.
In the early years should consume more protein, even 1.5 g per kg of ideal body weight, because it is necessary for healing ulcers, through which its loss. If the sick person is emaciated and skinny, which often occurs with this disease, it can provide even more protein, while maintaining the ratio of B / T - 1 / 3.
Of course, the patient should not be forced to eat "by force".
The recommended amount of carbohydrates does not deviate from the general principles of optimal nutrition, but they should be provided in a poorly błonnikowych products. Until the healing of ulcers should also avoid spices and savory dishes, and after resolution of symptoms can no longer be guided by the taste.
Persons taking medications should, together with the disappearance of symptoms, reduce the dose, in which one can talk to your doctor.
Very beneficial therapeutic effects in ulcerative colitis can implement the current selective treatment of S - because it is a disease with a predominance of the parasympathetic system.
Relief of symptoms are observed mostly between 10-th and 20 th day of treatment.
Simultaneously with the disappearance of the disease complications are retreating.
It should be noted, however, that if at the beginning of feeding symptoms of perforation or metaplasia of cancer, it is necessary to quickly perform surgery and drug therapy.
