Chronic diarrhea - why diarrhea is becoming frequent and how to get rid of it. Why frequent diarrhea is dangerous

Chronic diarrhea can cause inflammatory or bacterial diseases of the colon, in which epithelium is damaged, abscesses and ulcers are formed. Very often, chronic diarrhea occurs when infectious diseases caused by enterotoxins. Much less often - with intestinal damage malignant neoplasms, ischemia.

Chronic osmotic diarrhea is associated with the accumulation of undissolved carbohydrates in the intestines, which have undergone fermentation, but have not been absorbed into the bloodstream.

With functional disorders of the liver, stomach, pancreas and biliary system, anatomical imperfection of the intestine, with a number of immune diseases, against the background of prolonged use of laxatives or a whole series pharmaceuticals chronic diarrhea may occur.

Chronic diarrhea treatment

Effective treatment of a chronic is possible only after the diagnosis of the main causes that led to its appearance. Only if the results of the obtained examination are available, the doctor prescribes a full-fledged therapy.

With all forms chronic diarrhea the patient is prescribed diet number 46. In case of bacterial chronic it is recommended to take "Baktisubtil", "Enterola", "Hilak-Forte", "Bifidumbacterin".

As symptomatic therapy, drugs are used: "Smecta", "Tannakp", decoctions of chamomile, eucalyptus, oak bark, barberry.

In addition, for all types of chronic diarrhea, it is required to normalize motor function. gastrointestinal tract... For this are used: "Loperamide", "Octreotide", "Dalargin", as well as blockers calcium channels: Foridon, Verapamil. With secretory diarrhea, secretion inhibitors are prescribed, for example, "Octreotide", "Cholestyramine".

Chronic osmotic diarrhea is treated with absorption stimulants: "Foridon", anabolic hormones, digestive enzymes... Also recommended complex therapy metabolic disorders.

Exudative diarrhea is eliminated with the help of "Mesalazine", "Sulfasalazine", glucocorticoids. When motor diarrhea is prescribed psychotherapy, "Loperamide".

The patient should be informed that chronic diarrhea can be triggered by antacids, long-term intake antibiotics, antiarrhythmic drugs, artificial sugar, anticoagulants, medicines with potassium salts. For the successful treatment of chronic diarrhea, all of these drugs must be canceled or the tactics of treatment must be revised.

Causes of prolonged diarrhea

There are several reasons for prolonged diarrhea:

The digestion process is influenced by the composition and quantitative ratio of bacteria in the intestine. Reception antibacterial drugs leads to disruption of normal microflora.

Antibiotics kill lactobacilli, colibacillus and bifidobacteria, which are directly involved in the digestion process. The cause of dysbiosis may be a lack of fresh vegetables and fruits in the diet.

The disease leads to impaired absorption of fluids and nutrients. Absence timely treatment can lead to enterocolitis.

REASONS: One of the main causes of malfunctioning of the gastrointestinal tract is malnutrition. In addition to the quality of the consumed products themselves, the regime is also important. To improve bowel function, you need to drink a simple remedy every day ...

Prolonged diarrhea can be a sign of pancreatic disease. When the production of enzymes involved in the digestion process is greatly reduced.

The risk group includes people who are chronic alcoholics. The inflammatory process can begin after consuming ethanol.

Pancreatitis is diagnosed in people who eat too much fat. Constant overeating greatly complicates the work of the pancreas. In the intestines of a sick person, incompletely digested food enters the intestines. As a result, the patient begins to ferment immediately after eating.

In this case, there is an active reproduction of bacteria. Pieces of poorly digested food can be seen in the patient's loose stools. This phenomenon is called creatorrhea. Steatorrhea indicates the presence of undigested neutral fat in the feces. Fat, covering the walls of the intestines, makes it slippery, and this provokes diarrhea.

Diarrhea with ulcerative colitis

Ulcerative colitis affects the tissues of the colon. The patient's mucous membranes not only become inflamed, but ulcers also form. Most of the patients are young people between the ages of 20 and 35. Patients complain of the following symptoms:

• blood and mucus clots appear in the stool;
• the lower abdomen begins to hurt;
• a person feels a rumbling in the stomach and diarrhea does not go away after taking antidiarrheal drugs;
• the patient feels discomfort and bloating;
• a person is forced to go to the toilet more than 2 times a day;
• weight loss occurs.

Crohn's disease

The disease leads to inflammation of the mucous membranes. digestive system... In this case, the tissues of the small intestine are affected.

There are 3 degrees of severity of Crohn's disease:

1. The initial stage of the disease is accompanied by a slight increase in stool frequency. Blood in the patient's stool is very rare.
2. A sign of moderate severity is an increase in stool frequency up to 6 times a day. Traces of blood appear in the patient's feces.
3. The latter degree leads to more severe complications... In many patients, bleeding and fistulas can be detected.

The disease affects people under the age of 35. The patient develops characteristic symptoms:

• aching pain in the abdomen;
• the person complains of weakness;
• bloody diarrhea begins, with a frequency of up to 10 times a day.

When a worm multiplies in the body, the patient feels:

1. Cramping pains appear in the abdomen.
2. The patient (most often a child) suffers from diarrhea and flatulence;
3. Constantly growls in the stomach and diarrhea does not stop for more than a week.
4. The disease leads to increased gas production.

A distinctive feature of such diarrhea is the absence of blood and mucus in the feces.

When infected with salmonella, feces become characteristic. Salmonellosis is dangerous intestinal infection, which can lead to dehydration, infectious - toxic shock, and even - to lethal outcome... Liquid gray diarrhea can be seen in patients with pancreatic pathologies.

Colonoscopy

Patient examination includes the following procedures:

1. Colonoscopy allows you to assess the surface of the patient's large intestine. Experts, based on the data obtained, draw conclusions about various diseases- ulcers, diverticula, polyps, bleeding, tumors.
2. Backseeding ( bacteriological examination) is used to identify pure cultures of bacteria.
3. During a proctological examination, you can find out about cracks and fistulas in the colon.
4. No less valuable information can be obtained with rectanoscopy. With the help of an endoscope, specialists examine the mucous membranes of different parts of the intestine. ...
5. If additional questions arise, the patient can be referred to undergo an irrigoscopy. The procedure consists of examining the large intestine using a radiopaque contrast agent. The method allows you to determine the condition of the mucous membranes, the presence of tumors and damage.
6. Thanks to ultrasound abdominal cavity inflammation can be diagnosed in a timely manner different departments digestive tract... Doctors evaluate the functioning of the pancreas, stomach, and intestines.

Treatment of prolonged diarrhea

Loose stools are not a disease. This is a syndrome, and it just indicates a disorder of the digestive system, which can occur for various reasons.

Antibiotics are used to treat diarrhea associated with infection with bacteria.

Blackberry decoction

You can get rid of diarrhea with the help of blackberry twigs. Before preparing the broth, they must be cut into small pieces. Pour st. a spoonful of raw materials with a glass of water and cook for 15 minutes. The ready-made broth can be replaced with tea. Within 3 days after you start drinking blackberry broth, you will notice an improvement in your condition.

To deal with chronic diarrhea, you can use Potentilla root. Add 100 grams of raw material to a liter of water and cook for 20 minutes over low heat. The solution helps with bloody diarrhea that does not go away for a long time.

Svetlana asks:

Please clarify whether you have tested lactase tolerance, because intolerance to this enzyme, i.e. the inability to break it down by the body can lead to the appearance of loose stools, after taking dairy products. Also, one of the causes of diarrhea can be ulcerative colitis, impaired absorption of nutrients (maladsorption), taking certain medications, as well as hormonal disorders, i.e. dysfunction thyroid gland... You in mandatory it is necessary to conduct a sigmoidoscopy if this procedure causes loss of consciousness, talk to your doctor this problem and the possibility of conducting a survey after premedication. It is also necessary to examine the function of the thyroid gland, pass biochemical analysis blood for enzymes. Read more about the causes of diarrhea by clicking on the link: Diarrhea (diarrhea).

Svetlana comments:

Thanks. Blood for lactose intolerance - CC genotype (low activity of the lactase enzyme) I have not consumed milk for three years and even dairy products... I'm on an enzyme diet. Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, potassium, ferritin are normal. Hormones TSH, T4 sv, Antibodies to thyroperoxidase, Cortisol, DHEA-S are normal. T3 sv - 7.07 norm 6.45 Insulin-less than 2 norm from 6.0 C-peptide 359 norm from 369. The endocrinologist first wanted to diagnose "diabetes" and after the transfer of c-peptide became normal, and insulin and remained less than 2. She said no diabetes. Ultrasound of the thyroid gland - small cysts. The doctor said there could be no diarrhea from this. I have been taking tests for three years almost every month and nothing has changed in them. Tumor markers and hormones once a year.

Svetlana asks:

Good afternoon * I still have such a question .. Diarrhea sometimes begins immediately after eating, sometimes two hours later, sometimes even on an empty stomach, sometimes after a sip of water, a semi-fainting state, tachycardia, and in general, as if I’m going to die now, sometimes joins all this - can this also refer to nerves? Basically, it starts in the morning and by lunchtime it calms down with the help of smecto, and by the evening it starts to seethe, hiss and torment again *

Svetlana comments:

I started injecting Cortexin 10 mg + Mexidol 2 mg + Valocordin at night, and from diarrhea-bififorms and smecta, can I still drink KIP along with all this treatment?

In the event that you are not allergic to the components of this drug you can start treatment. This drug has not only antidiarrheal properties, but also has an antiseptic, immunomodulating effect, as well as restores the intestinal microflora, which in your case is simply necessary. Read more about diarrhea treatment by following the link: Diarrhea (Diarrhea).

Svetlana asks:

Good morning* Thank you) Tell me, what tests still need to be passed to exclude maladsorption syndrome? The gastroenterologist says that according to all the tests that I have, I have no malabsorption. There is no longer any strength to live like this, the stomach reacts instantly - you drink smecta and go to the toilet * All these chronic diseases have been with me since childhood and nothing like that happened, only from a malicious violation of the diet, and even then everything went away from coal. I had HFRS in 2008, but after it everything was fine, and exactly a year later it started) Sometimes at night there is a chill, as if the temperature, but it is not.

Svetlana asks:

Sorry for the obsession, but I just really want to be cured. According to my analyzes, what could be the diagnosis? The gastroenterologist gives me IBS and hr. pancreatitis, and he says no more examinations are needed.

In the previous answer, a complete survey plan was presented, which must be passed to clarify the diagnosis in the situation you are describing. Unfortunately, without a personal examination, even on the basis of the available data, it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis. If you doubt the qualifications of your attending physician, you can seek personal advice from another gastroenterologist. You can read more about various diseases associated with the intestines in the section of the same name: Intestines.

Svetlana comments:

Good afternoon. I was treated for IBS plus VSD according to what the doctor prescribed to me. Cortexin 5 days, Mexidol 10 days and KIP. Did not help. I can't eat. Even from a piece of bread with tea, the stomach begins to ache after 5 minutes. Maybe there is another medicine for this? The doctor told me to drink everything in a row, alternating. In other clinics, they do not want to accept, referring to the lack of a colonoscopy (which is impossible to do) Tell me, how can you do without a colonoscopy with something else?

No, unfortunately, colonoscopy is the only diagnostic method that can accurately establish the state of the mucous membrane of the large intestine, for the diagnosis of IBS, since it eliminates chronic colitis and other diseases accompanied by similar symptoms... This diagnostic method is included in the list of required ones. You can read more about colonoscopy, indications and contraindications for its conduct in our medical information section with the same name: Colonoscopy.

Svetlana asks:

Good afternoon. Today, waking up in the morning, getting out of bed, I began to have an unpleasant sensation in the lower abdomen, I reached the kitchen already with a terrible strong dull pain above the pubis and on the right and on the left, a semi-faint state again joined, as if I was about to die. I drank valocordin and lay on my back on my sides very painfully. It seems like it passed later, but the state of weakness remained. What could it be?

Severe pain in the lower abdomen can be a sign of many conditions, primarily associated with diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems. Such pain can be with adnexitis, ovarian cyst, ectopic pregnancy, endometritis, stones in bladder... I recommend that you do not postpone and seek urgent medical attention to conduct a series of studies: ultrasound of the pelvic organs, blood and urine tests. After examination by a gynecologist and examination, it will be possible to find out the cause of the pain and determine further treatment tactics. You can learn more about abdominal pain in the section of our website: Abdominal pain

Svetlana asks:

Thanks for the answer * Doesn't seem to bother anymore. During the examination of diarrhea, they found a 10 cm "serous" cyst in me, removed it, but a month later an ultrasound scan found another 4 cm cyst in the same place. The surgeon said that let her sit now. I have a question about the intestines. I am now taking Enterol, it seems to have helped me a little, there is no pronounced diarrhea, but still I go to the toilet often and a little bit. The ultrasound passed ... everything is the same as it was ... the doctor said that all my organs were twitching and some kind of intestinal pneumotosis. Another feeling of quick satiation appeared. Are these also symptoms of irritable bowel?

Both increased pneumatization of the intestine (an increase in the amount of intestinal gases), and a decrease in appetite, can occur due to irritation of the intestinal wall and inflammatory process on it (for example, with enterocolitis). To clarify the situation, it is advisable to personally consult with a gastroenterologist. You can read more about the manifestations of colitis and enterocolitis in our thematic sections dedicated to these diseases: Colitis and Enterocolitis.

Svetlana asks:

Good afternoon. I went to a gastroenterologist. Again he tells me to drink everything. Only I don’t know what to drink. In the morning, the stomach wakes up with its seething. Please tell me something good drug which helps with colitis. I will ask the gastroenterologist to assign it to me.

The effectiveness of colitis treatment is determined by the type of disease and its stage. Please specify what kind of colitis you have and we will advise you in more detail. You can learn more about colitis from the thematic section of our website: Colitis

Svetlana asks:

I already wrote that they give me an SRK. The gastroenterologist tells me to drink everything, only nothing helps me. Therefore, I asked you to write me the name of a good drug.

Please clarify which drugs you have taken so far and what you are currently taking. Also, please tell me what you currently have: constipation or diarrheal syndrome. For diarrheal syndrome, the drug Imodium or Erikan is recommended, for constipation - Cisap, Moitium. In addition, you can use a set of non-drug measures: psychotherapy or in individual cases the appointment of short courses of antidepressants effectively helps. These funds can be prescribed by your attending physician. For more information about your disease, you can get information from our section: Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Svetlana comments:

Considering that you have been thoroughly examined and that you have taken drugs from the main groups, I think it makes sense to consult a psychologist. Often additional measures aimed at the psychological component, give positive results... In addition, individual experts describe the effectiveness of prescribing antidepressants. Fundamentally new approach in your case it may be about switching to homeopathic medicines. Please consult a homeopath who will be able to choose the right course of treatment for you. You can learn more about this group of drugs from the section of our website: Homeopathy

Svetlana asks:

Have a nice day. I consulted a psychotherapist for zero effect. As was the diarrhea and remained. She prescribed glycine 4 times a day and adaptol. Gastroenterologist enterol and acepol. Nothing helps. One day is better, and on the second, against the background of a strict diet of oatmeal porridge in water, diarrhea begins in the morning and no acepoles help. The gastroenterologist said that she no longer has anything to cling to. I made an analysis for dysbiosis there is nothing. Analysis on hidden blood negative. X-ray of the stomach - duadeno-bulbar and bulbo-gastric refluxes. CA-19-9, CEA, gastrin, pepsinogen 1,2, Ca-242, all biochemistry and diagnostics inflammatory diseases intestinal antibodies to the goblet cells of the intestine and pancreatic ducts - everything is normal. Please tell me what is it? Maybe all the same something with the intestines and not with the head?

People of all ages and genders can suffer from an intestinal disorder that accompanies diarrhea. Prolonged state of impaired mobility, suction, or reflex function with frequent emptying is the most dangerous species diseases. An ailment of this type often appears in adults, which is explained by a certain lifestyle and bad habits.

If diarrhea does not stop for two weeks or more, dehydration and poor circulation occurs, which leads to complications and deterioration of the patient's condition. A similar manifestation in adults indicates independent disease or the presence of a more serious pathology. There are several reasons for chronic diarrhea:

2. Non-infectious causes frequent diarrhea due to the following factors:

• Medicines, antibiotics, laxatives.
• Syndrome of overactive thyroid gland, in which there is a stimulating effect on intestinal motility.
• Immunoglobulin deficiency, AIDS.
• The accumulation of carbohydrates in the intestine, which undergo fermentation, resulting in the formation of fatty and lactic acids. The reason for this diarrhea is overuse in eating soybeans and cow's milk.
• Diseases of the pancreas chronic pancreatitis, lack of enzymes, which happens in congenital pathology - celiac disease.
• The cause of diarrhea is inflammation of the intestinal mucosa.
• Diarrhea occurs as a result of the formation of tumors, cystic fibrosis, and decreased blood flow.

3. Also, the causes of diarrhea in adults include alcoholism, IBS. In addition, there are a number of factors that are associated with pathologies of the large and small intestines:

• Colitis: microscopic, ischemic, ulcerative.
• Bulging of the walls - diverticulosis.
• Hypersensitivity: nematodes, food allergies, celiac disease, gastroenteritis.

What are the signs that you should contact a specialist?

The first symptom of the disease in adults is frequent loose stools, but from different sources it can be accompanied by other symptoms:

1. When clinical picture – frequent diarrhea, persistent urge to defecate with flatulence, transfusion sensation, bloating and pain.

2. Diarrhea of ​​the exudative type is characterized by defecation with blood and pus.

3. With osmotic syndrome, the stool contains a large number of undigested food.

4. In other cases, the volume of feces is up to 500 ml / day.

5. Simultaneously with such signs, nausea and vomiting may appear, elevated temperature, chills, feeling of weakness.

6. Muscle cramps.

7. Loss of weight and appetite, intense thirst associated with dehydration.

Diagnostics

In most cases, a complete picture of the examination for the treatment of diarrhea in an adult can be established based on the results of blood tests, feces culture, biopsy. Obtaining a specific diagnosis is due to the following types of tests:

2. Blood is taken for the study of the content of iron, vitamin B12, hormones, electrolytes, glucose. For treatment, it is important to identify celiac disease and the concentration of albumin in the liver.

3. Sometimes it is required histological diagnosis bowel, implying sigmoidoscopy for area examination and colonoscopy for a complete analysis of the organ.

4. An X-ray is done in order to find out the presence of coprostasis, expansion of the loops.

Diarrhea treatment

To cure diarrhea, you need to understand that frequent loose stools are more a symptom than separate disease... Therefore, therapy is carried out depending on the pathogenesis. Some approaches are common to all causes, but different techniques exist.

1. Antibacterial drugs.

2. Diarrhea of ​​various types in adults can also be cured with the help of bacterial preparations:

• The Bactisubtil remedy is a culture beneficial bacteria with the addition of calcium carbonate. The course is 10 days with one capsule taken twice a day.
• After antibacterial therapy prescribe Enetrol, Bifekol, Linex to restore the intestinal microflora. Such treatment can last at least a month.
• The growth of pathogens is impeded by such a remedy as Hilak-Forte, which is a concentrated composition containing metabolic products: lactose, amino acids.

3. The following drugs are prescribed as astringent and enveloping adsorbents for the treatment of diarrhea:

• Substance that provides support and restoration of the mucous barrier - Smecta. The product protects the intestines well from microorganisms and has an enveloping effect.
• A solution that can bind toxins, adsorb pathogens and remove them from the body without being absorbed into the tissues - Kaopectate. It is prescribed for chronic diarrhea of ​​various origins. It is important not to take the drug with antibiotics, you need to pause for two hours.
• Tannacomp has astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. Suitable not only for the treatment of diarrhea, but also for its prevention.

Also, doctors often prescribe loperamide hydrochloride, which contains opiate receptors that reduce bowel motility and can effectively treat diarrhea. The agent reduces secretion and increases absorption, but is contraindicated in ulcerative colitis and acute dysentery. The hormone Somatostatin promotes the rapid absorption of fluids and electrolytes, reduces the amount of peptides and reduces the frequency of bowel movements and urge.

Diet

A prerequisite for the successful treatment of diarrhea is adherence to dietary rules. Foods should inhibit bowel movements, reduce the rejection of fluids and electrolytes. The food must correspond to the pathological changes in the intestines, therefore, it is allowed to eat only sparing food. Dishes are steamed and mashed. It is strictly prohibited:

• Legumes and dairy products.
• Grapes and plums.
• Sugar, baked goods.
• Fatty foods, smoked meats, salted foods, canned foods, alcohol.

The rest of the products are prescribed depending on the characteristics of the onset of the disease and its genesis. Recovery will be an important factor water balance and trace elements, therefore it is necessary to include pectin, protein, potassium. These are apples and banana purees, boiled meat, hard-boiled eggs, jacket potatoes.

When doctors are faced with the task of how to treat chronic diarrhea, they must find out the cause of the disease. For many types of pathologies, there is a complex diagnosis that can reveal even a hidden etiology. Further treatment depends on the complete picture of the survey. In some cases, this process takes a long time, since prolonged diarrhea is dangerous pathology requiring the attention of specialists.

Diarrhea from pills is a fairly common phenomenon. After all, today there is a huge number of diseases, from which no fewer are taken drugs... It should be noted that such synthetic agents not only help to get rid of the cause of the ailment, but also often become the culprits of new pathologies in the body. As a rule, diarrhea from pills occurs only if the patient takes medications that are aimed at eliminating bacterial infections... But first things first.
