Do You Suffer From Bowel Problems?

By: j.leblanc Home | Health-and-Fitness


Do you suffer from bowel problems? According to some estimates, about 70 million Americans suffer from bowel problems. These statistics cover only those people whose problems are severe enough to cause them to consult a medical doctor.

One hundred percent of American adults, if they live long enough, have herniation of the bowel. The number one cancer among men and women together is colon/rectal cancer. The colon is the sewer of your body. If it\'s not cleansed, the waste throughout the body can\'t get out.

People who aren\'t even aware that they have a bowel problem are often in the worst condition. When the colon is healthy, a person will have two or more well-formed bowel movements a day. Every morning, they\'ll have a huge movement which should altogether be from 2 to 4 feet long. Later on in the day they\'ll have another movement, which will be about half the size of the first. These stools should be expelled effortlessly--within seconds after they sit down. If you have to strain or if you have to read a magazine while you wait for a movement, then you are constipated.

Another indication of poor bowel function is if your stools are small and narrow, or if they are short or hard. You shouldn\'t see any mucus, half-digested food, or blood.

Bowel problems can cause nutritional deficiency, regardless of how good your diet is or how many vitamins you take. A poor diet creates sticky fecal matter. When there is not proper elimination, deposits of fecal matter build up along the wall of the colon or in the pockets of the colon. That\'s why even a mild case of constipation is a serious problem. Normally, the body pushes wastes out of your colon in eighteen to twenty-four hours. However, when you\'re not eliminating properly, these wastes may not leave for days. Usually the material deposits along your colon walls, it may not leave for months or years.

These deposits of fecal matter in the colon get irritated. This may lead to a spastic or inflamed colon, conditions that interfere even more with nutrient absorption and also with proper bowel function. The feces that remain in one\'s system begin to decay, releasing toxins and poisonous gases that seep out into the blood and poison all the organs and tissues. The blood stream itself gets polluted, preventing it from removing the cells\' wastes. So the whole system is poisoned by wastes.
