Intestinal disorders, remedies for diarrhea and constipation
Recent studies have shown that around the 12% of Italians suffer from diarrhea and almost the 20% Of constipation and constipation: if in the first case it is men who are most affected, the second mainly affects women. In general, the abdominal bloating it is a striking problem 10% to 30% of the population of western countries.
According to Prof. Gian Marco Giorgetti, Director of the UOSD Transmurale Clinical Nutrition ASL Roma 2 Sant’Eugenio Hospital, specialist in allergology and immunology, gastroenterology and internal medicine: “Most of the people who suffer from it think they can solve the discomfort by undergoing drastic diets that can instead lead to unpleasant and severe deficiency syndromes. It is not by removing everything and not eating anything that problems are solved, on the contrary, others are created ”.
“According to the guidelines – Giorgetti points out – we can speak of diarrhea when are we leaving in the bathroom more than 3/4 times a day and you have to be especially careful when it happens at night. Often, however, one suffers more simply than one change in stool consistency which may perhaps depend on a change in eating habits or the consumption of specific foods that cause this annoyance. On the contrary, it is in the presence of constipation or constipation when are we leaving in the bathroom less than 3 times a week and the reasons why this happens can be of various kinds “.
Flora&Friends is the campaign promoted by OptiFibre, Nestlé’s brand of natural origin products Health Science Proprio, which it aims to provide through its social channels solutions and advice appropriate for prevent and solve the main problems of Italians In this compound. Often, in fact, one is missing awareness of different pathologieswith the risk of confusing one disorder with another, thus intervening in an inappropriate way.
“The main error to be avoided in the presence of intestinal disorders – confirms Prof. Giorgetti – is to resort to do-it-yourself. L’self-medication and home remedies can in fact make the situation worse “. Therefore, diarrhea and constipation do not always depend onPower supply but it is certainly a valid advice for everyone to follow a healthy, complete and balanced nutritional regime.
The intake of prebiotics, preferably in soluble fiber, is useful in combating both disorders. In particular, we recommend the Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG) which is a dietary fiber of plant origin, 100% natural. The consumption of this fiber favors the balance of microbiota which is one of the fundamental elements of the entire ecosystem of the intestine, improving its regularity.
