PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

Technically known as the Irritable Colon Syndrome, this condition is a chronic motor disorder of the colon, with variable abdominal discomfort or pain. There is constipation, diarrhea, or alternating episodes of each. The colon is not inflamed but is spastic.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The motor and secretory activities of the colon are controlled by the autonomic nervous system with stimulation supplied by the parasympathetics and inhibition by sympathetic activity, creating a fine balance between the two opposing actions to allow the contents of the gut to pass smoothly through it. Patients with this condition usually are nervous, anxious, frustrated and emotionally labile. Hurried and irregular meals, constipation and abuse of laxatives, overwork, and lack of proper rest and sleep are basic causative factors, but the condition may follow an episode of toxic, bacterial, or viral enteritis.

TREATMENT:

Relief of stress and establishment of a normal daily routine with specific attention to good hygiene, avoidance of laxatives and enemas, regular physical activity and normal rest are mandatory. Psychotherapy may be indicated. Diet should be highly nutritious and because there is a great outpouring of adrenal hormones in times of great stress which causes destruction of body protein, a high protein diet is advised. Also, when diarrhea is severe, it is important to increase total food intake and especially fat intake to expand the gut and slow movement of food through the intestinal tract.
