Hello! I have been a doctor for 21 years. My name is Georgy Olegovich Sapego. This article will have questions and answers about digestion.
Question: Is food digested if there is no appetite, for example, with chronic fatigue?
Answer: It is digested. You have to eat to live. If food is not digested, then diarrhea will begin. If there is no diarrhea, then it is being digested.
Question: How and when is food evacuated from the stomach, as shown by belching with air a couple of hours after eating?
Answer: Food is evacuated from the stomach depending on the composition. The liquid will go away in 30 minutes, the fat will go away in 8 hours. Belching of air can be from anything.
Question: And what happens if, after drinking a liquid, for example a glass of tea, you walk, and the liquid in your stomach pours out like in a half-empty barrel, in short, you go and feel, hear how it gurgles there?
Answer: It really gurgles there. It happens.
Question: What if it gurgles in an hour or two? This is normal? Or should the liquid still leave the stomach at this time?
Answer: Rather normal.
Question: What is the food for a child with gluten intolerance?
Answer: If the diagnosis is confirmed and there are no symptoms, then no diet is offered. If the diagnosis is confirmed and symptoms are present, then a gluten-free diet is suggested. This diet usually contains a lot of rice. It is advisable to choose those foods with rice that are low in arsenic. Children are advised not to eat regular rice more than four times a week, because there is a lot of arsenic in rice. There are special foods where rice is good. There are also rice varieties that have less arsenic. It is better to ask a pediatric gastroenterologist about this.
Question: Tell me, does the use of alkaline mineral water help in the digestion and assimilation of food?
Answer: No.
Question: Then it turns out, alkaline mineral water only to reduce acidity?
Answer: She's for nothing. This is the century before last. And now, instead of water, a solid fake. So you can forget about mineral water as a bad dream.
Question: What does the lack of volatile bile acids in feces indicate and what to do?
Answer: There cannot be a shortage of fatty acids, because it is a product of the vital activity of microbes. The composition of the microbes has changed and the acids have changed. The food has changed. Diarrhea or constipation.
Question: And how to combine products so that fats are absorbed worse and are not automatically deposited in the body?
Answer: Reduce the calorie content of the diet, and nothing will be deposited.
Question: Constipation and flatulence are common. Please give some advice on how to fix the chair?
Answer: First you need to go to the doctor's office and find out if there is anything life-threatening like an intestinal tumor.
Question: Where are nutrients absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract? Into the gastrointestinal tract? Or, judging by your text, somewhere outside?
Answer: Into the blood and lymph.
Question: If bile acids have nowhere to be absorbed, they will fly out with diarrhea. What about constipation? Is it a bile acid deficiency? And why is it formed, this lack of bile acids?
Answer: Lack of bile acids occurs when the liver does not work, when there is no gallbladder and a single dose of bile is small, when a stone or tumor has disturbed the outflow of bile, when there is no piece of intestine in which bile acids are absorbed back into blood. But all this matters with diarrhea. If there is no diarrhea, then most likely the food is digested well.
Question: Maybe due to a lack of bile acids, liver fibrosis may develop?
Answer: On the contrary. This bile acid aggravates liver fibrosis.
