We’ve all experienced occasional constipation. Perhaps that’s the first problem you think of when you think of your colon. The colon, however, is vulnerable to a variety of otherndiseases, disorders and problems. In fact, according to some experts, more than 70 million Americans at some point in their lives suffer from bowel problems.
At least this is the number whose colon problems are so bad that they consult with the health care practitioner. There are untold numbers of people who struggle with bowel and colon problems who don’t seek professional help. They either believe that the problem isn’t severe enough or they don’t even realize a problem exists.
Constipation is only one of many problems that can attack the colon. Diarrhea is another health problem of the colon. Other more serious problems include cancer, polyps, colitis, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis and diverticulitis.
But colon and bowel problems can be more than merely uncomfortable, but they can also cause nutritional deficiencies, regardless of how great your diet is or how many vitamin and dietary supplements you take.
When your body cannot properly eliminate the food it brings in and the toxins that accumulate, then fecal matter builds up either along the walls of the colon or in the pockets of the organ. And this is when even a mild case of constipation is serious.
These deposits, as they sit in the colon, may not get eliminate for weeks, even months. In fact, it’s not unusual some experts say that some may cling to the colon for even years. Eventually this fecal matter becomes irritated. When this happens it may manifest itself in a spastic or an inflamed colon, both conditions that interfere with vital nutrient absorption in addition to the healthy bowel function.
When the fecal matter goes from merely being irritated to decaying, then real trouble begins. The decaying matter releases toxins and poisonous gases which seep into the blood and if left untreated, eventually begin to poison all of your organs and tissue. The bloodstream itself could get polluted which in turn poisons the entire body.
This just creates a domino effect. For when the body is affected by toxins, the individual cells of your system cannot take in the nutrients from the blood. The fluid surrounding these cells is too congested with wastes from the sluggish lymphatic system to allow anything inside the cells.
And this internal poisoning can initiate a host of other seemingly unrelated problems. It can cause a mental depression accompanied by morbid thoughts. You’ll also feel sluggish because the B vitamins are being properly processed. They’re being eliminated before they can become attached to the proper bacteria and get carried to the bloodstream to nourish the body.
