The width of the lumen is about 2-3 cm. The wall is thin and elastic so that it can expand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">On the other hand, your large bowel is thicker in the wall, larger in width, stuck to the back of your abdominal cavity, except the transverse colon which sags and swings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Digestion of your food occurs in your small gut from the enzymes made in your pancreas, and then absorbed into your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The unabsorbed and undigested food that remains then moves to the large intestine. Here, some more nutrients<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">and water are absorbed. The remainder is stored in the rectum until it leaves the body through a bowel movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Bacteria in your large bowel also break down food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The purpose of the large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food and get rid of any waste products left over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In addition to the above functions of the large gut, a most important function is that it gives accommodation for trillions of bacteria helping your wellbeing, including boosting immune system, and manufacturing vitamins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">This is the reason that you need to be careful in not taking antibiotics unless required, because they harm your beneficial microbes in your large gut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0There are really 3 major functions of the large intestine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Recovery of water and electrolytes,<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Formation and storage of faeces<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Fermentation of some of the indigestible foods like fiber by bacteria<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Keeping your large bowel healthy is essential for a healthy life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">How can you improve large gut health?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">A healthy balanced diet that is full of fruits and veggies containing high fiber, drink adequate amount of water, exercise regularly and feeding your microbiota with pre and probiotics, including fermented foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">According to the most up-to-date\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/health.gov\/dietaryguidelines\/2015\/resources\/2015-2020_Dietary_Guidelines.pdf\">Dietary Guidelines for Americans<\/a>, the adequate intake (AI) of fibre for adult men is 33.6 grams (g) per day, and 28 g for adult women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Large bowel seems to not like you eating much sugar and sweeteners as they do not have fiber.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Another important factor for good large bowel health is adequate amount of sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The researchers have found that those who lived in homes where people used disinfectant cleaning products at least weekly were twice as likely to have higher levels of Lachinospiraceae gut microbes, a type associated with type 2 diabetes and obesity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Smoking too seems to alter intestinal flora i.e. the good bacteria to potentially harmful microorganisms and decreasing the levels of beneficial bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">This may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">People who eat more veggies seem to have more good gut bacteria than those people who eat meat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">It is also observed that those who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or other medical conditions probiotics and fiber-rich or vegetarian diets may not be helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">How does the healthy gut microbiota help maintain a healthy inner lining to prevent diseases.?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">These healthy microbiota and the chemicals they produce, help maintain the mucosal layer that lines the gut and serves as a barrier, modulate the amount of inflammation in the gut and prevent the growth of disease causing bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Eating Sauerkraut (sour white cabbage) a fermented cabbage that provides the body with lots of good bacteria are one of the best foods to keep the good bacteria happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Asparagus is low in calories and a great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate, and vitamins. Eat plenty daily for good gut health<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Other foods for a healthy gut are Pineapple. &#8230;Onion. &#8230;Garlic. &#8230;Bone broth. &#8230;Apple cider vinegar. &#8230;Kimchi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The good gut bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids especially butyrate to provide optimum health, and the raw product used to produce such fatty acids is fermentable dietary fibre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">They are the main metabolites produced by the microbiota in the large gut through anaerobic fermentation of idigestible polysaccharides such as dietary fibre and resistant starch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">These short chain fatty acids also influence the gut- brain connection or axis..<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Butyrate in particular is important for maintaining good health via regulation of the immune system. It maintains a good defensive epithelial barrier protecting against several diseases, including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, and obesity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">To stimulate butyrate production is to supplement the diet with carbs that are resistant to degradation by human gut enzymes but can be metabolized by select bacteria in the colon. Resistant rice in our staple diet also produce fatty acid<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">One such resistant starch prepared from potatoes could increase average fecal butyrate in health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Resistant starch in rice like potatoes can increase the average fecal butyrate in health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">So it is important to increase your carbs with high fibre content to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases in the large bowel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Colon cancer typically affects older adults. It starts from innocent polyps and sometimes these polyps become colon cancers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Screening for cancer is important on a regular basis to prevent colon cancer<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Low fibre, high fat diets can increase the risk of colon cancer. Also there is an increase in people who eat diets high in red meat and processed meat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">There is a reduced risk of colon cancer among people who use regular aspirin like drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Inflammation of the Colon<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The large gut gets inflamed due to ulcerative colitis and Crohn\u2019s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In ulcerative colitis both colon and rectum becomes inflamed and develops ulcers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Possible causes are:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Autoimmune disorders<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Genes<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Environment factors- consuming high fat diet, taking antibiotics or oral contraceptives increases the chances of developing ulcerative colitis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Crohn\u2019s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Similar condition like ulcerative colitis, but may affect other parts of the digestive tract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In both inflammatory conditions dietary and lifestyle changes may help reduce or prevent symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Probiotics \u2013 Bacteria and yeast in probiotics can help relieve symptoms in inflammatory bowel disease, including irritable bowel syndrome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Certain foods and drinks may irritate the bowel and worsen symptoms in people with inflammatory disease of the large bowel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Foods and drinks containing caffeine should be avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Energy drinks, coffee and tea, cola and chocolate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Foods containing lactose should be avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">They are: milk, buttermilk, and cream<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">yogurt<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">soft cheeses<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">ice-cream<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Though high fibre diets prevent inflammatory diseases of the large gut, when you have symptoms doctors will recommend low-fiber diets.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">High fibre foods are: beans, pulses, and peas<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">nuts and seeds<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">potatoes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px;
