The condition of the whole organism depends on the proper functioning of the intestine. The following symptoms may indicate problems with the intestines.
10. The skin has faded, rashes, irritation and acne appeared
In humans, there is a constant process of formation of metabolic products. Some of them are toxic. There is a system that removes them through special organs and through the skin. When all these toxic substances are neutralized, a person feels good and looks great. If too many of them accumulate, for example, due to chronic constipation, the skin becomes flabby and wrinkles form on it. An unhealthy complexion appears, circles under the eyes, the skin becomes inflamed, covered with acne.
9. A plaque appeared on the tongue, an unpleasant smell is felt from the mouth
A healthy person has a pale pink tongue; on its surface there may be a transparent white coating that is easily erased with a toothbrush. Due to dysbiosis, a white coating appears, sometimes with a yellow tinge. It is easily cleaned, but after some time it reappears, it can lay down in a thick layer. One of the symptoms of this disease is halitosis, i.e. bad breath. A person himself may not feel it.
8. Memory problems, decreased concentration
In our body, everything is interconnected. Memory, the speed of brain activity directly depends on whether the nutrients we need are supplied. We are constantly updating cell structures, and this happens due to those components that enter our body. And the intestines are responsible for the breakdown of food. If it does not work as it should, the body does not receive the building material it needs, and this affects its well-being, which may result in memory problems and other changes.
7. Periodically torment headaches
Due to chronic constipation, headaches begin that have a pulsating, dull character. Toxins that accumulate in the intestine penetrate the bloodstream, and then spread throughout the body. They act on the nerve endings of the meninges, causing a feeling of pain.
6. It is difficult to fall asleep, but even after a long sleep, fatigue does not go away
Feces due to constipation are retained in the body and continue to decompose. Toxins enter the bloodstream, which cause intoxication of the body. Because of this, the patient has a headache, he is sick, he has weakness and drowsiness, and the temperature may rise.
5. The hair has become dry and brittle, and the nails are flaky
Due to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, the absorption of trace elements and certain vitamins is impaired. This is reflected in the condition of the hair, it becomes dry and brittle. Dysbacteriosis also affects the condition of the hair. Beneficial bacteria protect the intestines from harmful germs. If their number decreases, toxins become more, they enter the bloodstream. Hair follicles feed and grow, getting the substances they need from the blood. They cannot but respond to toxins. Due to the presence of harmful substances, the hair becomes brittle, thin, and falls out. The nails begin to exfoliate due to a lack of protein, a number of trace elements. This shortage can be caused by both unbalanced nutrition and gastrointestinal pathologies.
4. A person becomes too emotional, it is difficult for him to cope with stress
Due to the fact that food is poorly absorbed, there is a lack of minerals and vitamins. This is reflected in the production of hormones, including serotonin, dopamine. This affects the behavior of a person, it becomes difficult for him to control his emotions. He can be aggressive, moody and irritable. The slightest stress can put him out of balance.
3. Sweating, unusual odor of sweat - more harsh and sour
When feces accumulate in the intestines, the body is forced to work in an enhanced mode. He needs to push out the accumulated waste from the body, i.e. spend a lot of energy. This is reflected in the process of thermoregulation, increased sweating appears. The smell of sweat also changes. Sweat is necessary in order to remove salts, toxins. If there are too many toxins, the smell of sweat becomes sour. With constipation, as you know, intoxication of the body begins, the amount of toxins increases.
2. During stress in the abdomen, discomfort is felt
Various psychological disorders, including depression, panic attacks, stress can cause irritable bowel syndrome. This is a deviation in which a person’s gastrointestinal tract is healthy, but the patient experiences pain, cramping, and he may develop constipation or diarrhea. To cope with irritable bowel syndrome, you must follow a diet, undergo psychotherapy, take medications prescribed by your doctor.
1. A person feels weak, often sick
In a healthy person, bifidobacteria and lactobacilli live in the intestines. Not only digestion, but also immunity depends on them. It is these bacteria that are needed to produce certain vitamins and minerals. Thanks to bifidobacteria, folic and nicotinic acids, vitamin K, groups B, C are synthesized. Lactic acid is needed for the absorption of vitamin D, as well as iron, calcium and phosphorus. Beneficial bacteria are also responsible for the ability of human immunity to resist infectious diseases. Therefore, with dysbiosis, the immune system weakens, a person begins to get sick more often, complications may appear, and diseases become chronic. And this, in turn, becomes the cause of weakness, chronic fatigue.
