Intestinal catarrh: symptoms, causes and treatment
Catarrh of the intestines is a disease that most often occurs as a result of advanced inflammation of the intestines and can be caused by various reasons, such as colds in the legs and abdomen, eating inappropriate food, including unripe fruits and berries, stale meat, too fatty and starchy foods.
Signs of intestinal catarrh may vary depending on the degree and nature of the disease, but usually they include constipation, diarrhea, lack of normal bowel movements, heaviness in the abdomen, rumbling, headaches, lack of appetite and the presence of mucus in the stool. If intestinal catarrh becomes chronic, it can lead to significant weight loss.
How to treat catarrh of the intestines? First of all, you need to eliminate the cause of the disease. If intestinal catarrh is caused by poor nutrition, you should reconsider your diet and exclude heavy, fatty and starchy foods, as well as buckwheat porridge and black bread. It is useful to add cumin and wormwood powder to food.
To treat catarrh of the intestines, it is recommended to cleanse the stomach with a laxative and do enemas of warm water with tannin every day (a teaspoon of tannin per 4 takas of water). If diarrhea has been going on for several days, you can take tanalbin or bismuth 0.3 g twice a day. If the patient remains in bed, a warm compress of water and vinegar should be applied to the abdomen intermittently. If the patient has to be on the move, the stomach should be kept tied with something warm.
Warming compresses made from the infusion of pine branches are considered especially effective, and at the beginning of the disease it is useful to give water with broken proteins in it, decoctions of vegetables, milk and milk porridges, yolks of soft-boiled eggs and mixed with lemon juice. We must not forget about the home remedy - it is recommended to drink a cup of milk every day, which is mixed with a tablespoon of lime water.
By removing and eliminating the cause of intestinal catarrh and applying appropriate treatment methods, you can successfully get rid of this disease and restore your health.
