La diarrhée

La diarrhée est une affection commune mais désagréable que nous ressentons tous à un moment ou à un autre de notre vie. Elle se caractérise par une fréquence accrue des selles ou par le passage de selles molles et liquides. Il peut être très pénible et débilitant, surtout s’il est accompagné de crampes abdominales et de passage de mucus ou de sang. Lorsqu'il y a du sang ou du mucus dans les selles, on parle de dysenterie.

A person with diarrhea typically passes stool more than 3 times in a day. Diarrhea may cause a loss of significant amount of water and salts. Acute diarrhea is a common problem that usually lasts for 1 or 2 days, and resolves itself without any treatment. Chronic diarrhea, on the other hand, generally lasts longer than 2 weeks. It can be a sign of a serious disorder, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Chronic or recurrent diarrhea may cause poor absorption of nutrients (malabsorption).

Dysentery is a disease caused by parasites like amoeba or bacteria like shigella. It is characterized by diarrhea with mucus and blood. Although dysentery is a relatively easy disease to cure, death rates are high, particularly among children.

In today’s fast world where junk-food seems to be an inevitable part of our everyday diet, the tendency to develop gastro-intestinal disorders such as diarrhea and dysentery is high. Chronic diarrhea and dysentery can lead to malnourishment and a gradual deterioration of the immune system.

Causes de la diarrhée

Il y a beaucoup de facteurs causatifs. Heureusement, dans la plupart des cas, le changement des habitudes intestinales est de courte durée et disparaît tout seul. Voici quelques-unes des nombreuses causes connues:

• Food – Most people incur diarrhea due to the inability to digest certain foods. E.g. dairy products or foods high in fats, etc
• Chemical Laxatives – Many people become dependent on laxatives like magnesium (Epsom salt), cascara (Nature’s Remedy) and phenolphthalein (Exlax, Correctol) early in life and use them on a daily basis. This chronic dependency could also cause diarrhea.
• Reaction to Medicines – In particular, antibiotics and cancer drugs are known to cause diarrhea.
• Infection – There are over 400 different bacteria that normally live in the large intestine. There are many viruses and other infectious agents that also find their way into our bodies. Some of these can infect the intestinal tract and cause diarrhea. Fortunately, most of the time, these infections clear up without any treatment.
• Traveler’sDiarrhea – The cause of traveler’sdiarrhea is a toxic bacterium called E. Coli. It most often occurs in developing countries where sanitation is poor. The physician should be contacted before traveling to these countries to obtain more information on prevention and treatment.
• Diseases – Certain intestinal disorders like ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s Disease, diverticulosis, and even colon cancer can cause diarrhea.
• Stress and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – IBS is a condition that occurs when the intestines, especially the colon do not contract in a smooth, rhythmic manner. The contractions can be exaggerated in which case diarrhea occurs, or they may be sluggish and result in constipation. Sometimes there is alternating constipation and diarrhea. Emotional stress often aggravates these symptoms.

Symptômes de la diarrhée

• Selles molles, liquides et fréquentes
• Crampes abdominales
• Douleur abdominale
• Fièvre
• Sang dans les selles
• Des ballonnements

En outre, d'autres signes et symptômes tels que nausées et vomissements peuvent précéder la diarrhée. Les infections bactériennes ou parasitaires provoquent parfois des selles sanglantes, éventuellement accompagnées de fièvre.

Diagnostic de la diarrhée

Les antécédents médicaux, les symptômes et l'examen physique suffisent généralement pour diagnostiquer la diarrhée. Votre médecin peut vous conseiller des tests tels que:

• Stool culture – A sample of the stool is analyzed in a laboratory to check for bacteria, parasites, or other signs of disease and infection.
• Blood tests – Blood tests are helpful to rule out certain diseases.
• Fasting tests – To find out if a food intolerance or allergy is causing the diarrhea, the doctor may ask you to avoid lactose, carbohydrates, wheat, or other foods, to see whether the diarrhea responds to a change in diet.
• Sigmoidoscopy – For this test, the doctor uses a special instrument to look at the inside of the rectum and lower part of the colon.
• Colonoscopy – This test is similar to a sigmoidoscopy, but it allows the doctor to view the entire colon.
• Endoscopie - Un hochement de tête avec une caméra vidéo est autorisé à traverser le tube digestif pour permettre au médecin de rechercher toute anomalie interne.
• Imaging tests – These tests can rule out structural abnormalities as being the cause of diarrhea.

Traitement conventionnel de la diarrhée

Diarrhea should be treated as early as possible or else it will result in dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

Système conventionnel

Diarrhea caused by an infection can often be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics may benefit some adults with diarrhea. Diarrhea that is not caused by an infection is more difficult to diagnose and treat.

Long-term medication or surgery may be required in chronic cases of diarrhea. In cases of severe diarrhea, hospitalization may be required to receive IV fluids. Anti-diarrhea medications such as loperamide (Imodium) and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) may be used. They may help some people with diarrhea but should be by-and-large avoided due to their side-effects. Anti-diarrhea medications are not usually recommended for infants and children.

Biogetica’s kits are designed and believed to balance energetic, physical and immune responses of the individual to ensure long-lasting relief. Biogetica therapies are a combination of advanced ayurvedic herbs, resonance homeopathic remedies, bio-energetics and nutraceuticals. These products are believed to increase the body’s immune response to typical bowel pathogens. The products are believed to re-establish a favorable environment in the intestines so that conditions are not conducive for the growth and development of bowel pathogens. They also are believed to stimulate immunoglobulin activity at the mucosal level to protect the intestines. The remedies are believed to reduce the frequency of stools and restore their normal consistency. **

Conseils pour le traitement et la prévention de la diarrhée

Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine.As much as possible, stick to a semisolid and low-fiber diet like crackers, toast, eggs, rice and chicken.Avoid certain foods, like dairy products, fatty foods, high-fiber foods or highly seasoned foods for a few days.Wash your hands frequently, especially while handling food and after using the toilet.

You may take the following precautions to prevent traveller’sdiarrhea when you travel outside country:

• Évitez de boire de l'eau du robinet ou de vous en brosser les dents.
• Ne buvez pas de lait non pasteurisé ni de produits laitiers.
• Évitez tous les fruits et légumes crus, y compris la laitue et les salades de fruits.
• Ne mangez pas de viande ou de poisson cru ou rare.
• Ne mangez pas de nourriture de vendeurs ambulants.

When mild diarrhea persists over a long period, it is indicative of the inability of your immune system to cope adequately with typical bowel pathogens. Factors like stress also often contribute to intestinal hyper-motility and diarrhea.

Biogetica’s natural products are believed to work by improving the functions of your GI tract. The Homeopathy and advanced Bio-energetic products in the kits are believed to work specifically by: **

• Enhancing your body’s immune responses to typical bowel pathogens, so it combats them well when your body encounters them
• Making the environment in your intestines healthy Stimulating immunoglobulin activity at the mucosal level to protect your intestines from further damage
• Réduire la fréquence de vos selles et rétablir une consistance normale

The mind is a tool developed for our survival. You are not the mind, nor the body but rather one that can perceive the mind and the body. However, one is now constantly wagged around by the mind and its fears and desires. Often we find ourselves trampled in a parade of thoughts and washed around in a flood of emotions. Meditation is simply the process of returning Home to our true nature as the witnessing consciousness in which arise all thoughts and emotions. It is merely the fragrance of Being Human.

Meditation cannot be done, it will happen once we stop doing everything and anything. Now is all that exists, all else is merely grasping at the wind hoping to change things that are generally way beyond our control.

Talking about meditation and whether you believe you can do it or not, is pointless. When we rise above our mind, emotions and body, meditation will happen. Simply listening and following is enough. Meditation is in our very nature, and it happens for us all. Behind all those thoughts is a Witness. You are that Witness.

Prana’ stands for life force, and as the name suggests, it is instrumental in keeping us alive. ‘Pranayama’ is the process that helps us control ‘Prana’, and thus in a way, control our life. On careful observation, it is clear that there exists an intimate connection between the breath and energy-currents. Proper coordination of the breathing process leads to the control of vital inner-currents and energies. It ultimately results in the control of the body, mind and soul continuum. Over the millenia yogis have understood how each pranayama affects the energy meridians of the body and therefore these yogis recommend particular pranayamas for particular conditions and constitutions.
