Diarrhea (diarrhea) - is more frequent bowel movement (stool) during the day and at the same time change the consistency of stool, it becomes a liquid and mushy. In a healthy human gut is emptied 1-2 times a day, cal dense consistency. This happens because there is a balance between the amount of liquid entering the cavity of the intestine from its walls and the amount of fluid absorbed in the intestinal wall (see figure 1). Addition, there are normal contractions (peristalsis) intestine. These peristaltic movements as would delay the movement of the gut, contributing to the formation of feces. When these conditions are violated diarrhea - increased secretion of fluid flow in the cavity of her rectum, decreased absorption and diminished peristalsis (see diagram). As a result, becomes a liquid feces and is released more frequently - 4-5 or even more times a day. Causes of diarrhea are multiple. This enteric viral and bacterial infections, food poisoning, chronic disease of small and large intestine. In each case, identify the cause of diarrhea to a doctor, self-medication is dangerous and can lead to unpleasant consequences. Nevertheless, there are situations when you can use special means to ensure that at least temporarily to help themselves. This is especially important when traveling outside the home. When diarrhea is very effective modern chelators - drugs that absorb excess water, bacteria, toxic substances, such as Polisorb MP. Polisorb represents the smallest white powder without taste or smell, which has a very low density. The rounded particles have Polisorb sizes 4-40 nm, specific sorption surface - 300 sq.m / g. The surface of the intestine of an adult usually does not exceed 200 sq.m. Externally Polisorb represents a white, volatile powder blue hue. Powder Polisorb hydrophilic, readily binds to proteins and, consequently, with the bacteria. In the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract 1 gram Polisorb able to bind 10 billion microbial bodies. Gluing together microbial body and forming of these large complexes, Polisorb blocks their livelihoods, thereby stopping their pathogenic effects on the body. Treatment of diarrhea should begin in the early hours of the disease. Polisorb necessarily stir in the 0.25-0.5 cups of water. Adults: 1 day - to 1 tablespoon, every hour, for 3-4 hours. Day 2 - to 1 tablespoon, 3 times a day. Children: Children up to 10 kg. sorbent is given by 1 teaspoon for every reception, and weighing 10-30 kg. 2 teaspoonfuls of the reception, weighing 30 kg. and more - the drug is given by "adult" pattern. In the present circumstances Polisorb MP vital to have in every home medicine cabinet. For more information about the drug Polisorb MP you can find on our site (ibid. published the full text studies).
