Gastrointestinal Symptoms There are five basic symptoms indicating a GIT problem.

These symptoms are generally associated with dietary problems or specific food allergies.

It is critical that anyone suffering from serious GIT problems work closely with a physician to test for the more developed and serious GIT diseases.

The irritable bowel physician should also be experienced in working with dietary factors and food allergies.

Nausea and vomiting can vary from an unsettled feeling in the stomach to the violent action of immediate vomiting.

Patients with nausea and vomiting symptoms should assume the ingestion of a reactive food (i.e., food containing toxins) irritable bowel or poisoning with a pathogen such as staphylococci.

Vomiting immediately after eating is usually proceeded by excessive watery salivation.

Some chronic low-intensity nausea can occur for a protracted time due to sustained low-level food allergies or problems with food combinations.

Patients with low-level nausea usually have their symptoms disappear with irritable bowel diet revision.

Nausea and vomiting are also linked with migraines caused by food allergies (see the Migraine protocol) .

Bloating can result from excessive gas in the digestive system, failure of the digestive tract to sustain youthful peristaltic contractions, or a lack of sufficient quantities of digestive enzymes and bile irritable bowel acids required to rapidly break down food.

Intestinal gas results from food fermentation and from swallowing air while eating.

The bloating from intestinal gas is different from that which occurs in the colon.

constipation is the decreased frequency or slowing of peristalsis resulting in harder stools.

When the GIT is irritable bowel slowed down, feces can accumulate in the colon with attending pain and toxic reactions.

A spastic colon results when the colon contracts out of frequency in painful spasms blocking movement of the stool.

Some patients experience painful days of constipation followed by forceful diarrhea and watery stool, often accompanied with irritable bowel abdominal cramps.

diarrhea is the increased frequency of bowel movement that is also loose or watery.

If diarrhea increases, the possibility of celiac disease is considered.

Celiac disease is a serious disease that allows certain macromolecules to pass through the intestinal wall.

If blood appears in the stool, ulcerative colitis irritable bowel is likely.

Protracted bouts with diarrhea can result in nutritional deficiencies due to the poor absorption of essential nutrients.

Abdominal pain appears in different patterns and with varying intensities.

Cramping occurs because of muscle spasms of the abdominal organs.

Severe cramping pain, often called colic, usually occurs from problems with irritable bowel food intakes that exhibit strong allergic response in the patient.

Abdominal cramping near the navel is typically from the small intestine, and near the sides, top, and bottom of the lower abdomen, the pain is associated with the colon.

Diseases associated with central GIT disorders and diagnoses include depression, migraine, irritable bowel asthma, sinusitis, and fibromyalgia.

These diseases have been identified with specific patterns of food allergic response.

All of these diseases also have links to irritable bowel syndrome ( ibs) .

( ibs is more accurately referred to as RBS-reactive bowel syndrome) .
