Translations:Diarrhö/2/en

In addition to the progressive form, diarrhoea can also be classified according to the origin of the disease. We distinguish: * osmotic diarrhoea: osmotic diarrhoea is characterized by insufficient absorption of effective substances from the intestinal lumen. It may indicate a maldigestion or malabsorption syndrome - e.g. celiac disease - or an intake of substances that are difficult to absorb. Celiac disease, also popularly known as sprue, is an intolerance of the small intestine to gluten, a cereal protein made from rye, wheat, barley, oats and spelt. This disease causes symptoms such as diarrhoea, bloating, nausea, weight loss, anaemia, vitamin and protein deficiency. In childhood, a disturbed function of the small intestine resulting from celiac disease can lead to malnutrition and thus to growth and development disorders. Diarrhoea stops when no more food is consumed * Secretory diarrhoea: Secretory diarrhoea increases the secretion of electrolytes and water into the intestinal lumen. It is almost always caused by bacterial toxins, for example. Escherichia coli. Chological diarrhoea: Chological diarrhoea is caused by an increase in the permeability of the intestinal mucosa due to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - colon carcinoma, ulcerative colitis, or the passage of unabsorbed bile acids into the large intestine. This causes an increased inflow of electrolytes there.
