Diarrhea Intestine

Zao Xi Tu is warm and astringent, and enters the Spleen and Stomach meridians. It warms the interior and stops bleeding in both the Middle- and Lower-Jiao, such as bleeding from the stomach, intestines and uterus. Moreover, it binds up the intestines and stops diarrhea. It is more suitable for conditions of Spleen-Yang deficiency, such as chronic colitis, which manifests as abdominal pain and cramp, diarrhea, intestinal hemorrhage, cold hands and feet, and a pale complexion. 

Benzyl benzoate is a slightly toxic compound when used topically. It may cause slight allergenic responses, which may disappear after the end of exposure. If used as an acaricide, it may cause peristalsis of the intestine, diarrhea, intestinal colic, enterospasm, pylorospasm, spastic constipation, contraction of the seminal vesicles, hypertension, and bronchospasms.

Intestinal The intestinal disease form of anthrax may follow the consumption of contaminated meat and is characterized by an acute inflammation of the intestinal tract. Initial signs of nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, fever are followed by abdominal pain, vomiting of blood, and severe diarrhea. Intestinal anthrax results in death in 25% to 60% of cases. 

Fresh blue flag may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract that can lead to vomiting, watery diarrhea, intestinal burning, and colic (Felter and Lloyd 1898). 

Adverse events and side effects reported in association with castor oil include thrombosed hemorrhoids, precipitous labor, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal colic, flatulence, disturbances of electrolyte balance, dehydration, hemorrhagic gastritis, hyperemia of the pelvic organs, hemolysis, and liver cell necrosis (Lippert and Mueck 2002 McFarlin et al. 1999). 

Parasitologists also collect information that is used to create guidelines for diagnosis. This includes documenting symptoms common to each type of parasitic infection and cataloging the life st es of parasitic species. Intestinal parasites may cause diarrhea, intestinal pain, and the development of granulomas, or tumorlike masses. Other parasites can cause muscle and joint pain, fatigue, and various skin lesions and rashes. 

Malabsorption of vitamin A occurs associated with diarrhea, intestinal infections, and infestations (Rosenberg et aL, 1977 Mansour et aL, 1979). Children with a recent history of diarrhea are at higher risk of developing clinical evidence of deficiency than those without (Sommer, 1982a). Sivakumar and Reddy (1972, 1978) used labeled vitamin A to demonstrate a depressed absorption of vitamin A in acute gastroenteritis and in respiratory infections. Presumably this was primarily due to excessively rapid passage more than to a defective intraluminal hydrolytic system, because providing a vitamin A supplement to children with diarrhea results in improved absorption (Sivakumar and Reddy, 1978). 

Lipids present in the diet may become rancid. When fed at high (>4-6%) levels, Hpids may decrease diet acceptabiUty, increase handling problems, result in poor pellet quaUty, cause diarrhea, reduce feed intake, and decrease fiber digestion in the mmen (5). To alleviate the fiber digestion problem, calcium soaps or prilled free fatty acids have been developed to escape mminal fermentation. These fatty acids then are available for absorption from the small intestine (5). Feeding whole oilseeds also has alleviated some of the problems caused by feeding Hpids. A detailed discussion of Hpid metaboHsm by mminants can be found (16). 

Saponins dismpt red blood cells and may produce diarrhea and vomiting. They may also have a beneficial effect by complexing with cholesterol [57-88-5] and thus lowering semm cholesterol levels (24,25). In humans, intestinal microflora seem to either destroy saponins or inactivate them in small concentrations. 

Diarrhea is a common problem that is usually self-limiting and of short duration. Increased accumulations of small intestinal and colonic contents are known to be responsible for producing diarrhea. The former may be caused by increased intestinal secretion which may be enterotoxin-induced, eg, cholera and E. col] or hormone and dmg-induced, eg, caffeine, prostaglandins, and laxatives decreased intestinal absorption because of decreased mucosal surface area, mucosal disease, eg, tropical spme, or osmotic deficiency, eg, disaccharidase or lactase deficiency and rapid transit of contents. An increased accumulation of colonic content may be linked to increased colonic secretion owing to hydroxy fatty acid or bile acids, and exudation, eg, inflammatory bowel disease or amebiasis decreased colonic absorption caused by decreased surface area, mucosal disease, and osmotic factors and rapid transit, eg, irritable bowel syndrome. 

Pantothenic acid toxicity has not been reported in humans. Massive doses (10 g/d) in humans have produced mild intestinal distress and diarrhea. Acute toxicity was observed in case of mice and rats by using calcium pantothenate at fairly large doses (92). 

Cryptosporidiosis, an intestinal infection caused by protozoa of C ptosporidium species is a taxonomicaHy related disease (12). The disease affects animals, such as calves, lambs, and chickens, and infects humans woddwide, especially infants and children in developing countries. Symptoms range from mild self-limiting diarrhea and abdominal pain to a potentially fatal extreme diarrhea that results in weight loss and poor nutritional absorption.

Gastroenteritis Gastroenteritis is an acute inflammation of the lining of the stomach and intestines. Symptoms include anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain and weakness. Gastroenteritis has many causes, such as bacteria (food poisoning), viruses, parasites, consumption of irritating food or drink, as well as stress. Treatment for the condition depends on the underlying cause.
