1 Medical indications

Diarrhea after eating can occur once or periodically. In the latter case, a chronic indigestion occurs. Treatment is appointed after finding out the exact cause of diarrhea. More often this symptom is caused by viruses, microbes. The doctor can make the following diagnosis:

• dysentery;
• salmonellosis;
• acute gastroenterocolitis.

With such diseases, diarrhea after eating is accompanied by high fever, weakness. The child or adult has vomiting, dizziness, general weakness. The first symptoms can appear in a few hours or in 5-7 days. The incubation period depends on the number of microbes that have entered the body of a child or an adult.

To determine the course of treatment, the excretory isolation is investigated, their type is determined. Viral pathologies are characterized by the presence of signs of acute respiratory infection, its rapid transmission. Diarrhea after each meal can be observed with a disturbed process of digestion. Food, absorbed by man, moves along the digestive tract, splitting into small substances. Pre-formed fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and then simple substances( amino acids).

This process is directly influenced by the following substances and factors:

• liver and stomach enzymes;
• quality and quantity of food eaten;
• condition of the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract.

Diarrhea immediately after a meal can manifest itself due to climate change, the composition of drinking water, the nature of nutrition.

2 Types of digestive disorders

Therapy is prescribed taking into account the type of diarrhea:

• watery;
• is bloody.

The first symptom is provoked by pathogenic microbes and viruses. With the isolation of toxins, the permeability of the mucosa increases. In the stool, salt and water appear. Bloody diarrhea in an adult and a child manifests itself against a background of ulcers and ulcerous formations. Because of the destruction of the upper layer of the intestine, there are various changes in the vessels, blood appears in the stool. If suspected of a ulcer, a sigmoidoscopy is indicated. If untimely elimination of such symptoms, the process can go into a chronic stage.

Diarrhea after each meal can be a consequence of nervous and emotional stress, allergies to a certain food product, jumps of AD, beriberi. There are 4 mechanisms for the development of diarrhea:

• disrupts the movement of intestinal contents;
• increases the permeability of intestinal walls;
• secret is generated;
• changes the osmotic pressure.

The above processes are interrelated. But each pathology proceeds individually.

3 Liquid stool in infants

Often diarrhea in infants is associated with intestinal infection. In this case, the symptom in question is manifested as much as the disease lasts. The secondary causes of diarrhea are as follows:

• food poisoning;

In infants-infants, enteritis is manifested against the background of staphylococcus aureus. It is often associated with overeating, disturbed diet. With enteritis with feces, water, potassium and sodium salts are secreted. This symptom leads to rapid dehydration of the body.

In colitis, the child's fever, pale skin, weakness. The stool, unlike enteritis, is less plentiful. But mucus and blood are present in the feces. Experts explain the reasons for the development of acute form of colitis by intestinal infection, which is combined with acute gastritis. Rarely such a symptom is manifested against the background of intolerance of certain food components.

Chronic colitis is the outcome of an acute form. Also, it can manifest itself against the background of parasitic and helminthic diseases, as a result of a constant violation of the diet, due to irrational intake of antibiotics and laxatives. The causes of secondary colitis development are endocrine diseases and CNS pathologies. To eliminate the symptoms of pathology, drug therapy is indicated. The child is prescribed antibiotics( Mexaform), enzymes( Pancreatin), analgesics( Metacin).If there is a remission of chronic colitis, then physiotherapy is used. If the therapy is ineffective or the consequences of diarrhea develop after a meal, surgical intervention is indicated.
