Diarrhea means the continuous waste material of our food through the large intestine with loose feces from anus. Diarrhea may cause due to bacterial or viral infection. In such condition large intestine swells and produces diarrhea anon. Its main cause is when bacteria replaces gut flora from large intestine. It causes pain in anus.
Those who have the deficiency of lactase diarrhea is common among them. It is a forceful enzyme that splits milk sugar and converts it into glucose and galactose. Diarrhea process is such when someone drinks milk and after a short time cramp starts in the belly and after this starts motion or diarrhea from anus.
The main cause of it is this, the lactose in the milk is not broken down and it remains in human small intestine. Thus contraction increases and water cannot absorb in small intestines thus diarrhea starts at once. Gas remains in intestine and causes pain near the liver, in gallbladder, or under the diaphragm or heart. It becomes so due to gas shifting in belly.
We may divide diarrhea into three groups: an acute diarrhea, persistent diarrhea and chronic diarrhea. Acute diarrhea remains for several hours and sometimes for many days and men go for bowel vomiting more than three times in a day. It is bloody in common term it is called dysentery Persistent diarrhea remains one week to less than four weeks but chronic diarrhea remains for one month.
There are four different types of diarrhea: 1, when small intestine cannot absorb soluble component and the whole fluid goes into the gut is called osmotic diarrhea. When active chloride secretion goes into the bowel and the bowel at once water flows chloride ions is called secretary diarrhea. When small intestine swells it causes diarrhea is called inflammatory diarrhea. When intestine size increases and causes diarrhea in called motility diarrhea.
Diarrhea Causes
The main cause of diarrhea is bacteria and virus that disturbs the functions of intestines, small and large reveals these symptoms as stomach pain, bloating, thirst due to losing water, and along with it weight starts losing and at the end fever prevails in the whole body.
Since diarrhea directly links to intestines and in our intestines calcium absorbs with the help of vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency causes diarrhea because calcium produces heat in human intestines with the help of vitamin D. If no calcium in intestines alone vitamin D upsets human intestines’ functions and causes diarrhea.
