PERFORATED COLON

March 15th, 2010 by coloninf under Colon Cleansing. No Comments.

Eating is part of your daily routine, but if you are faced with the question: Why do you eat? What would be your answer? People eat to survive and to provide for nutritional needs, especially for energy and growth. The absorption of these so-called nutrition falls under the role of the Digestive System, without which you might not get the nutrients’ that you need to grow and stay healthy.
This is why there is a need to take care of the digestive system and its parts, including the Colon – that which is responsible for absorbing the water, potassium and some fat soluble vitamins from solid wastes, in the last stage of the digestive process before they are expelled from the body. But just because the role it plays is not major doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be taken care of. As a matter of fact, disorders of the colon such as having a Perforated Colon, or Perforated Colon Cancer need immediate medical attention.
A perforation is a hole created by boring or piercing, and yes, as scary as it sounds, this actually occurs in the gastrointestinal tract including the Colon.  And how do you know if you have this? Found below are symptoms of a perforated colon:
1. Abdominal Pain. If you feel intense pain in your abdominal area that keeps recurring, or intensifies with movement, then it could very well be due to a perforated colon.
2. Bleeding.  Bowel accompanied by blood may also signify a perforation of the colon, and it is necessary to bring it to the attention of a medical expert immediately.
3. Nausea. This is the sensation of discomfort, and unease in your gastrointestinal tract, giving you the urge to throw up, or vomit. In cases of perforated colon cancer, the nausea felt is in its extreme.
4. Fever, Chills & Cramps. These are considered as later symptoms in the disorder. A perforated colon causes a change in body temperature, and in the muscular activity of the abdominal region.
5. Other symptoms. Perforation of colon may also manifest through other symptoms such as loss of appetite and vomiting.
Because it plays a major role in maintaining the hydration status of the body, a hole, or a perforation in the colon wall warrants immediate medical emergency. It might take more than just eating to tame that burning pain, and woozy feeling in your gastrointestinal area. Seek the help or advice of a doctor, and let me know if he tells you that eating isn’t the only way to respond to a grumbling tummy.

COLON BLOCKAGE

March 2nd, 2010 by coloninf under Colon Constipation, Colonic Diseases. No Comments.

Delectable food, no matter how unhealthy, is pretty hard to resist and sometimes, the taste buds just keep sending memories of how good it tastes to your brain. The next thing you know, you’re giving in and munching on that zero-nutrition platter with a smile on your face.
The thing is, however, the satisfaction lasts only until that last crumb touches your tongue, or until you feel bloated with all that junk you just so willingly admitted to your body system. And as for its long-term effects, well, that is another story. Why don’t we try and take a look at a few issues you just might end up encountering, in trade for that glazed donut or cheese-and-bacon-bits-topped potato wedges, and see if it should still be so difficult to resist unhealthy food?
1.     Obesity. The accumulation of body fat in excess of the daily dietary requirement is actually as bad as it sounds, causing the likeability of acquiring heart disease, having difficulty in breathing and sleeping, and many other complications. It may be one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but it may be prevented. In addition to physical exercise, a great deal of discipline and willingness to avoid the unnecessary intake of oil, fat and excess calories will be of great benefit. So close your eyes, take a deep breath and ditch that double patty burger, and forget about that extra serving of mayo.

2.     Colon Blockage. Junk food often has little to zero fiber, and fiber being a mainstay in our digestive system’s process of “disposing waste”, the consumption of too many low (or no) fiber foods actually may lead to the blockage in the colon. Most people with irregular bowel movement may mistake this as just constipation until it carries on for days and they start experiencing severe abdominal pains. Colon blockages not only cause rectal pain, hemorrhoids and other discomfort, but may actually lead to bad breath and skin problems over time due to the body’s process of ridding itself of the toxins released into the blood stream as a result of the inability of the colon to expel waste. So trade that chips and curls for some orange wedges, bagels and other high-fiber foods.

3.    A Plethora of Other Diseases, Shorter Life Span in General. Junk food actually aids the onset of cardiovascular diseases and the ever-deadly Cancer, amongst other things, making your health significantly worse over a period of time.

With all these in mind, there’s a better reason to turn around and just avoid those mouth-watering but illness-packed delicacies. Ask yourself: How difficult is a moment’s pain in trade for a lifetime of pleasure?

colon careHow To Do The Best Colon Care

An estimated 50 million Americans are said to be suffering from digestive tract problems. Some are suffering to as minor as bloating or gas problems or diarrhea and there are those that suffer from the worst forms like colon cancer. If we look at it closely it is not surprising to know this. With our busy schedules we opt to eat processed foods which are the easiest to prepare, fail to exercise, forget to drink water and drink sodas as alternative.

Most of our health problems sprang from unhealthy colon. Coroners would say that autopsies reveal that 80% of the colon is cramped with waste materials. The colon is the most unnoticed part of the digestive tract as it is located in the far end. It is approximately five feet long and has a diameter of about 2-3 inches. It has four parts, each having its own function: ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and the sigmoid. The colon’s main function is to transport waste material from the small intestine to the rectum. It also absorbs water and sodium from the waste before transporting. If the waste is not eliminated properly or if it stays a long time in the intestine, health problems would occur.

The best colon care formula is to drink plenty of water, eat foods rich in fiber, and to exercise regularly. Water separates the sticky feces from the intestinal lining, providing a smooth exit. It also stimulates the hormones that promote muscular movement of the intestine that makes the food move through and out. It is recommended to drink half of the body weight in ounces daily. Fiber enables to stools to achieve the consistency needed for them to easily be eliminated from the body. Exercise also promotes good bowel movement.

Generally, more bowel movement is the result of colon health care. However, there are times when the colon is still unhealthy even with regular bowel movement. Waste can accumulate on the inner lining of the colon causing a release of toxins back to the bloodstream. In this the detection of the colon problem may be impossible unless there is constipation or other digestive disruption.

Regular colon cleansing is highly recommended in for colonic care. This will remove all the waste stuck to the colon walls. There are different ways of detoxifying, and one can choose whichever would suit him or her. One is what is known as colon hydrotherapy, which is a safe way to remove waste without using drugs or laxative. Another ancient way of detoxifying is through fasting. It is believed that fasting can help the body eliminate accumulated toxins. There are supplements like ground psyllium husks which are used as well.

In this day and age, prevention is always better than cure. A healthy lifestyle, proper diet, and regular exercise will not only the best colon care formula you can possible be able to find but also, will surely add years to your life.

colon cleanse doctorWhat A Colon Doctor Can Do

Our colon is one of the least thought about parts of our internal organs. It serves the as the site for collecting waste products from what we eat before it is expelled out of the body. A lot of people are not aware of its other functions as well as the impact it can cause to our health when not taken care of properly. Colon doctors specialize in taking care of that part of our internal system. They understand the basic needs as well as the special needs of our colon when it is in trouble. Here are some useful information to give you a better perspective in understanding how it works.

Colon or large intestine is a part of the digestive tract which has a larger diameter than the small intestine. Its primary functions are to absorb water and serve as the excretion point of solid waste materials. It can actually absorb up to 6 liters of water in a day. The part that serves as the storage for the waste materials or feces is called the rectum. Waste products include undigested food, digestive fluids, and even bacteria. The presence of bacteria also helps in the further breaking down of undigested food. As a result, it can make useful products like vitamins.

If a person is suffering from ailments in the large intestine, a visit to a colon cleansing doctor would be a very wise and, possibly, a life-saving decision. Scientific studies show that colon cancer belongs to the top of the list for common cancers in North America. Aside from that, imagine an unhealthy and clogged colon. The presence and buildup of the waste materials can easily become a breeding ground for bacteria and can cause infection, resulting to organ malfunctions. The toxins can also cause diseases like colon cancer.

Any colon cleanse doctor would tell you that the best way to go is prevention. You need to keep your colon healthy and watch your diet. If in case you lead a very unhealthy lifestyle, it would be best to consult your colon doctor for cleansing. They can use methods like colonic irrigation and enema. Colonic irrigation introduces pressurized water directly into the colon while enema involves infusing of liquid into the rectum. The latter only cleanses the lower colon.

In terms of prevention, it is very easy to keep your colon healthy. Drink plenty of water, exercise, and increase intake of fibrous foods like whole grains, vegetable, and water. There are studies that suggest getting enough exercise significantly promotes healthy digestion. The fibers help in the proper movement of waste product in the intestines, thus, preventing a build up of potentially toxic materials in the colon. It is very easy keep your colon healthy as long as you have self discipline to impose the right prevention methods and the best colon cleanse doctor to address your needs.
