Causes of sticky stools

We all know that the quality of the digestive system is determined by the normality of bowel movements, and the normality of bowel movements can also be used to distinguish the quality of the digestive system. If the digestive system is good, some people are normal and are used to having it once a day. If we have loose stools or our stools are thick and cannot be completely discharged or are particularly hard, it just means that our digestive system is on strike.

Constipation is when the stool is dry and hard, defecation is difficult, or defecation occurs only once every few days, with a serious loss of normal frequency.

After food is digested and absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, its residue forms feces, which are regularly and regularly discharged from the colon. This is a basic physiological process of the body. If feces remain in the body for too long, various symptoms of poisoning will occur. In severe cases, it can lead to electrolyte and acid-base imbalances and cause various diseases.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that constipation is mostly caused by heat accumulation in the large intestine, or stagnation of qi, or cold stagnation, or deficiency of yin and yang, qi and blood, which cause the large intestine's conduction function to fail. In addition, because the lungs and large intestine are exterior and interior to each other, blockage of lung qi can also affect the defecation function of the large intestine.

Common clinical symptoms include habitual constipation, which is caused by poor diet and bowel habits, decreased intestinal motility, and stress-induced constipation.

Therefore, patients with constipation should pay attention to the following dietary principles in their daily lives:

1. It is advisable to eat more foods rich in fiber, such as various fresh vegetables, fruits, bamboo shoots, etc., to increase food residues.

2. You should drink more boiled water on a daily basis to help soften your stool.

3. Eat some foods that have a laxative effect, such as honey, sesame, walnuts, milk, cream, etc.

4. When cooking dishes, you can add more cooking oil, such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, hemp oil, peanut oil, etc.

5. Eat some foods containing B vitamins, such as beans, whole grains, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., to promote intestinal motility.

6. Avoid irritating foods such as strong liquor, strong tea, coffee, leeks, garlic, chili peppers, and eat less meaty and greasy foods.

If we usually do not consider the feelings of our stomach and only consider our own taste buds, while ignoring their feelings, we will definitely suffer in the end. Normally, we don’t have to restrict our diet, but if these problems occur, we must pay attention to our diet, otherwise, they will never get better.
