1 Causes and symptoms of

Disturbance of the balance of microflora leads to the appearance of other diseases and a decrease in the protective properties of the body. Useful bacteria - lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, etc. - help the body digest food, protect it from allergens, maintain the level of immunity, reducing the risk of cancer. With dysbacteriosis and the reduction of the necessary microflora, such dangerous microorganisms as streptococci, staphylococci, fungi of candidiasis, etc. can escape to freedom.

Causes of dysbacteriosis in adults:

• decreased immunity against the background of infectious diseases;
• use of antibiotics;
• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract( gastritis, pancreatitis, etc.)
• acute intestinal infection in case of poisoning or infectious disease;
• frequent stress and chronic fatigue syndrome;
• frequent travel and travel with changing ration;
• diet and other ways of losing weight;
• poor nutrition, misuse of harmful food;
• surgical interventions.

In adults with disbacteriosis of the intestine, frequent bloating, constipation or, conversely, diarrhea. Because of the high amount of pathogenic microflora with dysbacteriosis, nausea and a frequent unpleasant odor from the mouth, with which neither pastes nor chewing gums can cope.

In children with dysbacteriosis, especially in infants, abdominal distention is observed, frequent stool and colic disorders - increased gas formation in the intestine.

Dysbacteriosis can not be left without treatment, very important is the diet for intestinal dysbacteriosis. In its absence, the pathological condition can progress, while there is a violation of absorption of certain vitamins, a significant decrease in immunity, exhaustion and anemia. At the last stages, colitis can occur - an inflammatory process in the intestine.

If you suspect a dysbacteriosis, you need to undergo a checkup with a gastroenterologist, take a stool test for a bacterial microflora and undergo diagnostic procedures: colonoscopy, gastroscopy and irrigoscopy.

2 Proper nutrition

During the treatment of dysbacteriosis, several rules should be observed that will help to cope faster with the growth of pathogenic microflora and restore the bacterial balance:

1. The nutrition for dysbacteriosis must be constant, at least three times a day, and be administered at the same time.
2. The food must be balanced. In no case can you exclude from the diet direct sources of easily digestible proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
3. Diet for intestinal dysbacteriosis should be balanced and be sure to include foods and dishes with a high content of coarse fiber.
4. Dairy products help to cure dysbacteriosis, so nutrition with dysbacteriosis must include them.
5. With a dysbacteriosis often there is a food allergy, therefore it is necessary to be cautious with products-allergens.
6. Water is a must. With dysbacteriosis, the amount of water should be increased. A large amount of water should contain a diet for dysbiosis with diarrhea, as this replenishes the stock of lost fluid. Thus water facilitates a condition at a problem with a stool in the form of a diarrhoeia.

Nutrition for dysbiosis should be aimed at alleviating the patient's condition: to eliminate diarrhea and fight with constipation, - while the food should create favorable conditions for the growth of the level of beneficial bacteria. It should include a large number of fresh vegetables, fruits and berries. This will help to support reduced immunity.

3 What is harmful is

The main rule that applies to food during the treatment of dysbacteriosis is a sparing food. It should be thoroughly thermally processed, but at the same time before serving, the dish or drink should be cooled. Do not eat too cold food, because it, along with a very hot, can quite irritate the intestines.

First of all, it is necessary to exclude from the diet any smoked and spicy dishes, significantly restrict fried foods. This is a rather heavy and irritating food, which can cause great damage to the unstable microflora of the intestine and stomach.

Before starting treatment, you need to see a doctor: he will explain what you can eat and what you can not, individually.

In general, the following products are not recommended for dysbacteriosis:

• spicy seasonings and spices, onion, garlic and mustard;
• acidic products: lemons, sauerkraut, etc.
• seafood;
• any alcoholic beverages, beer and kvass;
• marinated meat and shish kebab;
• very heavy food: mushrooms in any form and fried foods;
• products of meat processing: sausages and sausages, any sausage;
• products containing bran;
• some types of rice.

Fresh vegetables should be replaced with steamed or at least cooked. During their preparation, the amount of salt is best minimized, and spices replaced with natural seasonings: dried dill and parsley. Meat is also better to cook for a couple, chopped cutlets from lean beef, chicken and rabbit will be useful. Fatty soups should be replaced with broths based on river and sea white fish and chicken. With dysbacteriosis, you need to consume a large number of dairy products: kefir, cottage cheese and yogurt without fruit fillers with mandatory availability of useful lacto- and bifidobacteria, but at the same time it is necessary to treat with caution the milk, especially the fat. As a dessert, it is better to replace buns and sweet foods with fresh berries, boiled fruits, honey and kissel( not oatmeal).

Porridge - buckwheat, soya, pearl - better to cook not on milk, but on water with a minimum content of salt and sugar. In tea and compotes as a sweetener is better to add honey. At a diet during a dysbacteriosis it is necessary to limit the use of bread. It can be eaten in small quantities and only from wholemeal.

4 Preventative measures

For infectious diseases and bowel diseases during the use of antibiotics and breastfeeding, it is necessary to follow a diet for the prevention of dysbacteriosis.

In order not to have it for young children, nursing mothers should exclude from their diet, and then from the child's complementary foods, the following products:

• all legumes;
• some fruits and vegetables: cabbage, pears, etc.;
• sausages, smoked sausages, etc.;
• marinated products;
• mushrooms;
• restrict milk, eggs, chocolate and raw foods.

It is important to limit the consumption of products with a large number of dyes and chemical substitutes and stabilizers. This can be the reason for the development of dysbiosis.

During illness and antibiotic use, it is necessary to additionally use preparations with prebiotics that help maintain a beneficial intestinal microflora and reduce the growth of pathogenic bacteria.

Such a diet should be adhered to people with various chronic diseases and frequent stress.
