After determining the underlying cause of your frequent discharge, Advosis may be used to enhance intestinal absorption; thereby reducing dehydration risk and other potential diarrhea-related complications.
occur annually in the United States alone. Despite this frequency, diarrhea and its potential complications can result in severe illness if not accurately addressed. Though most cases are acute in nature, diarrhea can persist and become a chronic condition. Its origin may be due to a simple food intolerance, result from a more serious bacterial infection, or perhaps an underlying medical condition. Regardless of its cause, it is imperative that diarrhea severity be assessed and proper treatment protocols initiated.
reduction in illness duration.
Diarrhea, Defined: The medical definition of diarrhea involves the defecation of more than 200 grams per day, although there is no formal measurement of such volume upon diagnosis. Diarrhea can be both an acute and chronic condition. It presents as an abnormality in the digestive process, producing an increase in the wateriness, volume, or frequency of bowel movements over a given duration. Normally, foods remain in a liquid state during the digestive process. When food passes through the colon, fluids are readily absorbed and only semisolid stool remains. However, diarrhea occurs when fluid is not absorbed by the colon, like it normally should be. Foods that are ingested usually pass too quickly or are in too great of amounts to be sufficiently absorbed by the colon. Acute diarrhea usually lasts only a few days. Chronic diarrhea, on the other hand, typically lasts much longer and may be a sign of a more serious, underlying disorder such as inflammatory bowel disease. In certain circumstances chronic diarrhea can be life-threatening without proper treatment. Both types of diarrhea are associated with a loss of water and salts from the body. When the colon is damaged or inflamed, the absorption of nutrients and fluid is dramatically altered and can lead to dehydration. Replacing lost fluid and other nutrients is key in preventing the possibility of dehydration and other potential complications that arise as a result of this condition. What Causes Diarrhea? There are a myriad of causes which can lead to diarrhea's onset. It may be the result of a temporary problem, like bacterial infection, or caused by a more severe and chronic problem, such as intestinal disease. The most common causes of diarrhea remain:
Rotavirus is the most common cause of childhood diarrhea, and the Norwalk virus is the most common cause of diarrhea among adults. Bacterial infections often result in more serious cases of diarrhea. These infections result from contaminated foods and/or drinks; also known as food poisoning. Lactose, the sugar found in milk, is a common cause of diarrhea in lactose intolerant persons. As well, antibiotics upset the natural balance of bacteria within the intestines and is the leading cause of medicinal-related diarrhea. Types/Signs and Symptoms of Diarrhea: Acute diarrhea, or gastroenteritis, is diarrhea lasting for less than 2 weeks. Symptoms of acute (general) diarrhea include; a frequent need to defecate, weight loss, abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, bloating, vomiting, and a general feeling of being ill. Chronic, or long-term diarrhea lasts for more than 2 weeks and is usually related to a functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. This condition manifests much like acute diarrhea and presents with the same initial symptoms. However, chronic and more severe forms of diarrhea can be associated with persistent abdominal pain, high fever, discolored or bloody stools, and dehydration; all symptoms which indicate that a more severe disease is present. Standard Treatments for Diarrhea: Physician intervention is usually not necessary unless diarrhea has persisted for over 2 weeks. In most cases, diarrhea will run its course and the only treatment needed is maintaining adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration from occurring. Your physician will, more than likely, advise you to replace fluids with an electrolyte mixture, due to the fluid, minerals and salts (e.g. potassium and sodium) lost during diarrhea. In addition, milk products, caffeine, and greasy, spicy, high-fiber, or sweetened foods should always be avoided. When you begin eating again, doctors usually recommend the BRAT diet, which consists of bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast, to test your individual tolerance. If you are able to eat these foods without restriction, you may want to begin incorporating simple/bland foods into your diet. These include; crackers, plain chicken, soups, carrots, and potatoes. Over-the-counter medications can be helpful, but are not recommended for persons with diarrhea caused by bacterial infections or parasites. Popular medications include:
Antibiotics can be prescribed to ease the symptoms associated with bacterial diarrhea. These agents are not, however, effective against the most common types of infectious diarrhea, which are viral in nature.
of treatment for diarrhea. In fact, studies have shown that the ingredients found in Advosis produced significantly shorter durations of diarrhea than patients concentrating on diet alone. This finding may prove even more important for employers and employees alike, considering that diarrhea is only second to the common cold in the number of days missed at work. Advosis accurately addresses several causes of diarrhea-related illness without dietary manipulation. Ingredients such as bentonite clay, probiotics, nutritional yeasts, activated charcoal, and soluble fibers, help to resolve diarrhea's symptoms by assisting in the elimination of toxins, while promoting a natural balance of flora in the digestive tract. Progressive Health's unique formula also helps to add bulk and reduce the fluidity of stools with its inclusion of blond psyllium seed and husk. By reducing diarrheal duration and improving the current health of your digestive tract, Advosis can be a welcome component to any protocol that has been designed for diarrhea treatment, regardless of its severity.
