IBS, IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME, VAGUS NERVE, SEROTONIN , Part 2 - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

THIS POST IS CONTINUED FROM PART 1 BELOW--

IBS itself is not a psychological condition but it can make sufferers feel embarrassed and isolated due to the unpredictable nature of symptoms.

No tests can actually confirm whether or not someone has IBS, which is why tracking symptoms is so important. 

From a doctor’s standpoint, IBS is diagnosed when a cluster of symptoms occur together and last for at least several months. , a few of the biggest signs and symptoms of IBS include recurring abdominal pain and discomfort, plus changes in bowel habits (both frequency of when they happen and consistency of your stool).

The vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic nervous system, The word vagus means “wanderer,” because it wanders all over the body to various important organs.

I AM THE FIRST ON THE PLANET TO TALK ABOUT YOGA TWEAKING THE VAGUS NERVE

Bacteria communicate with the brain via the vagus nerve..  When the vagus nerve is severed, effects of gut bacteria on brain biochemistry, stress response and behavior evaporate.    Yoga uses  vagal stimulation  for treating anxiety and depression  .

In people with fatigue, food sensitivities, anxiety, gut problems, brain fog, and depersonalization, the vagus nerve is almost always at play.  These people have lower vagal tone, which means a lower ability of the vagus nerve to activate or perform its functions.

The vagus nerve connects to the brain, gut (intestines, stomach), heart, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, kidney, ureter, spleen, lungs, fertility organs (females), neck (including the pharynx, larynx, esophagus), ears and tongue.

Given the importance of the vagus nerve in the gut (and other organs), when it’s not working right, it will cause digestive disorders including dyspepsia, gastroparesis, esophageal reflux, ulcerative colitis, anorexia, and bulimia, to name a few

Since the vagus nerve is very important for increasing gut flow/motility, having less vagus activation will increase your IBS risk, which is a result of a slower flow

The gastrointestinal tract is designed to digest food and propel the unabsorbed waste products to the end of the intestines for excretion. It does this by coordinated contraction and relaxation of the muscles in the bowel wall.

Stimulating the vagus nerve increases the release of histamine in stomach cells, which helps with the release of stomach acid . So low stomach acidity is usually, in part, a vagus nerve problem.  By releasing intrinsic factor, the vagus nerve is important to help you absorb B12

In the heart, it controls heart rate variability, heart rate, and blood pressure.  Vagus activation will lower the risk for heart disease and other major killers

The vagus nerve promotes general kidney function. It helps with glucose control and increases blood flow (R), which helps filtrate your blood better. Vagus activation also releases dopamine in the kidneys, which helps excrete sodium – and thereby lower blood pressure.

The vagus nerve goes to the bladder.  A side effect of vagus nerve stimulation is urinary retention , which may mean that less vagus stimulation can cause you to urinate frequently 

In the spleen, it can reduce inflammation .    Vagus activation will reduce inflammation in all target organs (by releasing acetylcholine), but when it activates in the spleen it’ll probably be more systemic.

It helps control fertility and orgasms in women by connecting to the cervix, uterus, and vagina. 

Women can actually experience orgasms simply from the vagus nerve . AAAHHHA !

Vagus nerve because it CONTROLS MUCOUS production and also your COLON FLOW.

Satiety and relaxation following a meal are in part caused by an activation of vagus nerve transmission to the brain in response to food intake

The vagus nerve explains why a person may cough when tickled on the ear, such as when trying to remove ear wax with a cotton swab

Vagus nerve stimulation helps people with tinnitus because of its connection to the ear.

The vagus nerve is important in conditions like GERD not only because it controls stomach acidity, but also because it controls the esophagus.

The vagus nerve is largely responsible for the mind-body connection since it goes to all your major organs (except your adrenals and thyroid).

Vagus activity of a child can be affected by their mother. Infants had lower vagus activity with mothers who were depressed/angry/anxious during pregnancy

It’s been suggested in studies that the vagus nerve is important for getting in the mental state of flow.  It’s believed that the combination of sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and vagus activation creates the right environment for a flow state

Sickness behavior (fatigue, sleepiness, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, pain, lowered motivation, and failure to concentrate) is blocked when the vagus nerve is taken out

Because the vagus nerve is associated with many different functions and brain regions, research shows positive effects of vagal stimulation for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to :

Anxiety Disorders

Heart disease

OCD

Alzheimer’s

Migraines

Fibromyalgia

Obesity

Tinnitus

Alcohol addiction

Autism

Bulimia

Multiple sclerosis

Chronic heart failure

Memory disorders

Mood disorders

Cancer (R)

Bad blood circulation (R)

Leaky gut

Severe mental diseases

NOW YOU KNOW THE BENEFITS OF YOGA .. ANCIENT MAHARISHIS WERE NOT FOOLS

Vagus Nerve Stimulation normalizes an elevated HPA axis (CRH, ACTH, and Cortisol)

The hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is our central stress response system. The HPA axis is an eloquent and every-dynamic intertwining of the central nervous system and endocrine system. The HPA axis is responsible for the neuroendocrine adaptation component of the stress response.

This response is characterized by hypothalamic release of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). CRF is also known as CRH or corticotropin-releasing hormone. 

When CRF binds to CRF receptors on the anterior pituitary gland, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is released. ACTH binds to receptors on the adrenal cortex and stimulates adrenal release of cortisol. In response to stressors, cortisol will be released for several hours after encountering the stressor. 

At a certain blood concentration of cortisol this protection is ostensibly achieved and the cortisol exerts negative feedback to the hypothalamic release of CRF and the pituitary release of ACTH (negative feedback). At this point, systemic homeostasis returns.

With aging, the hypothalamus and pituitary are less sensitive to negative feedback from cortisol and both ACTH and cortisol levels rise as we age.   Older women secrete more cortisol in response to stress than do older men. Young women, however, produce lower levels of cortisol in response to stress than do young men.

The vagus nerve can help reduce pain and this is the mechanism by which estradiol reduces pain in certain circumstances

Insulin activates the vagus nerve in some ways through a domino of steps and leads to decreased glucose production by the liver

  

Ghrelin increases hunger by stimulating the vagus nerve signal from the brain to the gut.. Ghrelin, a gastrointestinal hormone, stimulates feeding and secretion of growth hormone (GH).. GHS-R; ghrelin receptors present in the vagal afferent neurons as well as the brain and is transported to the afferent terminals. 

In addition, the firing rate of vagal afferent fibers significantly decreases after ghrelin administration. Taken together, these data show that the vagal afferent system is the major pathway conveying ghrelin's signals for feeding and GH secretion to the brain. The vagus nerve is the major neuroanatomical link between the GI tract and the brain. 

Cell bodies of afferent fibers of the abdominal vagus nerve are located in the nodose ganglia, which project onto the brainstem.. The vagus nerve provides an additional pathway via which appetite-regulatory signals from the periphery can communicate with the hypothalamus to regulate energy homeostasis. 

Besides influencing the release of oxytocin , the vagus nerve is important for releasing testosterone.  If it’s not working well, it could be a reason for low testosterone

Testosterone can make people more aggressive, but this is not the case when the vagus nerve is functioning right

Proper functioning of the vagus nerve is important for the production of GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone) and IGF-1

The vagus nerve can stimulate other hormones such as your Parathyroid hormone , which is important for conversion of vitamin D3 to active D

Stimulating the vagus nerve causes it to release vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) , which is often low in people with CIRS/mold conditions.

NPY blocks some of the vagus nerve effects.  NPY, is an anti-anxiety and hunger increasing hormone, prevents the decrease in heart rate from vagal stimulation

Gastrointestinal abnormalities have been linked to a variety of psychological problems, including depression, anxiety, hyperactivity and schizophrenia.

Part of the explanation for this relates to the fact that you have, in a very real sense, not one but two brains — one in your head and one in your gut — connected via your vagus nerve, which runs from your brain stem to your abdomen.

Again, the vagus nerve is the primary route your gut bacteria use to transmit information to your brain, which helps explain why mental health can be so intricately connected to your gut microbiome.

Fermented foods have been shown to curb social anxiety disorder in young adults.  This is why we eat idli and coconut infused curd chutney for breakfast

Gut microbes can also alter the way in which your central nervous system uses  neurochemicals.

When mantras in Sanskrit are chanted the lungs works the muscles in the back of the throat to activate the vagus..

Mantra chanting activates your sympathetic nervous system and vagus nerve and is conducive to getting in a flow state.. Chanting mantras in Sanskrit  increases HRV and vagus function.. Heart rate variability is an indicator of how well the parasympathetic nervous system functions. 

Hindu king mantra OM chanting stimulates the vagus nerve.  SHALOM and AMEN does not work.

Yoga increases vagus nerve activity and your parasympathetic system in general

PRANAYAMA , deep and slow breathing diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the vagus nerve

When you’re depressed, the passage of waste matter throughout your whole gut is likely to be delayed. In contrast, anxiety is associated with accelerated passage of the digestive contents through the small bowel. 

Most people have, at some time or other, experienced cramps and diarrhoea caused by major anxiety. Acute stress also accelerates the passage of bowel contents through the small intestine and speeds up the working of the whole colon, so you have to open your bowels more often, whether or not you have IBS.    

Pain may be made less distressing by techniques such as meditation . Hyperventilation (rapid breathing that occurs during anxiety and panic attacks)  lowers your pain threshold, so that any pain becomes more troublesome.

Your heart and neck contain neurons that have receptors called “baroreceptors.”

These specialized neurons detect your blood pressure and transmit the neuronal signal to your brain (NTS), which goes on to activate your vagus nerve that connects to your heart to lower blood pressure and heart rate.  The result is a lower fight or flight activation (sympathetic) and more rest and digest (parasympathetic).

The baroreceptors can be more or less sensitive.  The more sensitive they are, the more likely they are going to fire and tell your brain that the blood pressure is too high and it’s time to activate the vagus nerve to lower it.

Laughter is capable of stimulating the vagus nerve.  A modern study done on yoga laughter found increased HRV in the laughter group

An ayurvedic massage can activate the vagus nerve.

When you fast, part of the decrease in metabolism is mediated by the vagus nerve.  

http://ajitvadakayil.blogspot.in/2016/10/amavasya-poornima-ekadashi-fasting.html

Specifically, the vagus detects a decline in blood glucose and a decrease of mechanical and chemical stimuli from the gut.  This increases the vagus impulses to the brain (NTS) from the liver, which slows the metabolic rate

SQUATTING FOR A SHIT  ( Indian style ) stimulate your vagus nerve.  That’s why you  feel relaxed after a bowel movement.

Abnormal action in one part of the nerve supply (the vagus nerve) is linked to constipation, whereas in another part (known as the sympathetic nervous system) it is linked to diarrhoea.

The nervous system surrounding the digestive tract is often overlooked. This complex of neurons is called the enteric nervous system (ENS) and controls the coordinated movement required for healthy digestion. 

Although the ENS usually works in concert with the brain and spinal cord, it also has the ability to function as an independent entity, justifying its colloquial name — “the second brain”.

The CNS communicates with the ENS through sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers. Generally, the sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the ‘fight or flight’ response while parasympathetic activation supports ‘rest and digest’ function.

 One of the largest and most important linkages between the ENS and CNS is the vagus nerve, a key driver of the parasympathetic response. Interestingly, about 90% of the vagus nerve connections between the gut and the brain are afferent, meaning they send signals away from the gut and towards the brain . 

This structural layout indicates that a significant portion of information originates in the gut and is directed towards the brain, not the other way around. In other words, sensations felt in the digestive tract have a direct line for altering your mood and mental well-being. 

It is no surprise then, that stimulating the vagus nerve by YOGA  has been found to be an effective treatment for depression

The gut is closely connected to the brain. The two actually communicate constantly via the vagus nerve so the gut can receive signals from your central nervous system (brain and spine) that cause it to become irrigated and unpredictable.

Stress and digestion are also directly related because the gut is capable of producing, or not producing, certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, which have important implications for how you feel.

Stimulation of the vagus nerve has many effects on the body; it slows heart rate, stimulates digestive secretions and motility and reduces blood pressure, but 80% of the fibres of the vagus nerve travel from the body to the brain, where they transmit a never-ending stream of information about the state of the viscera, reduce activity in the sympathetic nervous system, and  have a calming effect on the emotions. 

Some probiotics are through to have a calming effect through stimulating the afferent vagal terminals in the gut.

The vagal response is an automatic reflex that happens within your body when your vagus nerve is stimulated. This reflex affects your central and peripheral nervous system, as well as your cardiovascular system and therefore a sudden stimulation of this reflex can set off a variety of symptoms. 

Vasovagal syncope is the term used to describe the experience of losing consciousness (fainting) due a sudden drop in blood pressure. Vasovagal syncope can happen as part of the vagal response.

The vagal response involves your central nervous system, your peripheral nervous system and your cardiovascular system. When the reflex is triggered it causes an abrupt dropping of your blood pressure and a sudden reduction in your heart rate.

Symptoms attributable to hyperventilation are common among patients with the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).  Hyperventilation ( of TRIPLE SRI ) exacerbate the alimentary symptoms of IBS. Hyperventilation changes haemodynamic function through central and peripheral mechanisms.

Psychological factors can affect these nerves and so can alter the speed at which intestinal contents pass through the bowels. People who are constipated, including those with IBS for whom this symptom predominates, seem to have weaker and fewer contraction waves in their colonic muscle.

During menstruation, for example, IBS symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhoea and gas tend to get worse in 50 per cent of women.

The effect of gut health on the brain goes beyond temporary mood fluctuations and is intricately tied to the gut microbiome

There are a variety of triggers that can set off the vagal response. As you will see, some of these triggers are internal, while others come from the environment:

Emotional stress

Blood being drawn or the sight of blood

Fear

Gastrointestinal illness

Having a bowel movement

Heat

Pain

Standing for a long time

Standing up quickly

Trauma

Symptoms of the Vagal Response:--

Once a vasovagal relex has been triggered, a variety of physical symptoms may be experienced. 

These include:--

Blurred or tunnel vision

Dizziness

Fainting

Feeling warm

Light-headedness

Nausea

Ringing in ears

Skin feels cold and clammy

Sweating

Turning pale

IBS accounts for around half of referrals to gastrointestinal clinics. Classic symptoms include abdominal pain, distention and altered bowel habit

A high proportion of IBS patients suffer from hyperventilation syndrome, or over-breathing. We have had very good results with breathing retraining and relaxation exercises

Abdominal bloating occurs when the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is filled with air or gas. Most people describe bloating as feeling full, tight, or swollen in the abdomen. Your abdomen may also be swollen (distended), hard, and painful. Bloating is often accompanied by:-- 

pain

excessive gas (flatulence)

frequent burping or belching

abdominal rumbling or gurgles

Abdominal bloating can interfere with your ability to work and participate in social or recreational activities.

Gas builds up in the digestive tract when undigested food gets broken down and when you swallow air.

Burping and flatulence are two ways swallowed air leaves the body. Delayed emptying of the stomach (slow gas transport) in addition to gas accumulation can also cause bloating and abdominal distension.

Normally, bacteria are virtually absent in the acid environment of the stomach and are few in the upper gut. They increase considerably in the lower parts of the small intestine, and then dramatically on crossing into the colon.

Although IBS has been referred to as a type of colitis it is not an inflammatory disease of the intestinal tract

Sustaining a balanced intestinal microbial community is critical for maintaining intestinal health and preventing chronic inflammation.

The enteric nervous system and the brain use the same chemicals and hormones.

By  tweaking the balance between beneficial and disease-causing bacteria in an animal's gut can alter its brain chemistry and lead it to become either more bold or more anxious.  

The brain can also exert a powerful influence on gut bacteria; even mild stress can tip the microbial balance in the gut, making the host more vulnerable to infectious disease and triggering a cascade of molecular reactions that feed back to the central nervous system.

Gut bacteria regulate digestion and metabolism. They extract and make vitamins and other nutrients from food that you eat. They program the body's immune system. They build and maintain the gut wall, which protects the body from outside invaders. 

And by their very presence, beneficial bacteria in the gut block harmful microbes from setting up camp and produce anti-microbial chemicals that defend the host against pathogens.

Gut bacteria both produce and respond to the same neurochemicals—such as GABA, serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine and melatonin—that the brain uses to regulate mood and cognition. Such neurochemicals  allow the brain to tune its behavior to the feedback it receives from the army of bacteria in the gut.

GUT MICROBES PROGRAM SOME ASPECTS OF THE BRAIN , INCLUDING CHARACTERIC RESPONSE TO STRESS.

Defensive molecules the gut produced during infection, called inflammatory cytokines, disrupt brain neurochemistry and make people more vulnerable to anxiety and depression – and behaving like CUNTS

80% of people with chronic GI disorders such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are also plagued by anxiety and depression—the JEWS have a large percentage

Interactions within the brain and gut axis (BGA) that involves both, the afferent-ascending and the efferent-descending pathways as well as the somatosensory cortex, insula, amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex and hippocampus are deranged in IBS showing both the activation and inactivation. 

The BGA constitutes the enteric nervous system (ENS) and the gut wall in the periphery, the CNS, and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.. In physiological conditions, signals from the GI tract influence the brain, which in turn can exert changes in motility, secretion, and immune function.. 

The axis is an important communication system for healthy regulation of food intake, digestion, gut sensations, and control of the bowel movements. Structural and functional disruptions in the BGA cause changes in perceptual and reflexive responses of the nervous system and may lead to GI disorders, including IBS, which often comorbid with chronic psychiatric diseases.. 

The gut-brain axis (GBA) consists of bidirectional communication between the central and the enteric nervous system, linking emotional and cognitive centers of the brain with peripheral intestinal functions.  Gut microbiota in influencing these interactions..  

Enteric microbiota has an important impact on GBA, interacting not only locally with intestinal cells and ENS, but also directly with CNS through neuroendocrine and metabolic pathways.

Brain has a prominent role in the modulation of gut functions, such as motility, secretion of acid, bicarbonates and mucus, intestinal fluid handling and mucosal immune response, all important for the maintenance of the mucus layer and biofilm where individual groups of bacteria grow in a multiplicity of different microhabitats and metabolic niches associated with the mucosa.. 

A dysregulation of GBA can then affect gut microbiota through the perturbation of the normal mucosal habitat. 

Stress induces variation in size and quality of mucus secretion.. The vagus appears to differentiate between non-pathogenic and potentially pathogenic bacteria even in the absence of overt inflammation and vagal pathways mediate signals that can induce both anxiogenic and anxiolytic effects, depending on the nature of the stimulus. 

Certain vagal signals from the gut can instigate an anti-inflammatory reflex with afferent signals to the brain activating an efferent response, releasing mediators including acetylcholine that, through an interaction with immune cells, attenuates inflammation.

The gut–brain axis is the biochemical signaling that takes place between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system.. That term has been expanded to include the role of the gut flora in the interplay; the term microbiome-gut-brain axis is sometimes used to describe paradigms explicitly including the gut flora..

The gut-brain axis includes the central nervous system, neuroendocrine and neuroimmune systems including the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (HPA axis), sympathetic and parasympathetic arms of the autonomic nervous system including the enteric nervous system and the vagus nerve, and the gut microbiota

In humans, the gut microbiota has the largest numbers of bacteria and the greatest number of species compared to other areas of the body. 

In humans the gut flora is established at one to two years after birth, and by that time the intestinal epithelium and the intestinal mucosal barrier that it secretes have co-developed in a way that is tolerant to, and even supportive of, the gut flora and that also provides a barrier to pathogenic organisms

The relationship between gut flora and humans is not merely commensal (a non-harmful coexistence), but rather a mutualistic relationship.

The enteric nervous system is one of the main divisions of the nervous system and consists of a mesh-like system of neurons that governs the function of the gastrointestinal system; it has been described as a "second brain" for several reasons. The enteric nervous system can operate autonomously. 

It normally communicates with the central nervous system (CNS) through the parasympathetic (e.g., via the vagus nerve) and sympathetic (e.g., via the prevertebral ganglia) nervous systems. However, vertebrate studies show that when the vagus nerve is severed, the enteric nervous system continues to function

The gut flora can produce a range of neuroactive molecules, such as acetylcholine, catecholamines, γ-aminobutyric acid, histamine, melatonin, and serotonin, which is essential for regulating peristalsis and sensation in the gut.

Changes in the composition of the gut flora due to diet, drugs, or disease correlate with changes in levels of circulating cytokines, some of which can affect brain function.

The gut flora also release molecules that can directly activate the vagus nerve which transmits information about the state of the intestines to the brain.

Hunger and satiety are integrated in the brain, and the presence or absence of food in the gut and types of food present, also affect the composition and activity of gut flora.

People with schizophrenia also have GI problems..  More than  85 % of people with autism also have gastrointestinal problems, and autism is often diagnosed at the time that the gut flora becomes established, indicating that there may be a connection between autism and gut flora

IBS usually appears for the first time in the second or third decades of life. Intermittent attacks can occur or symptoms can be continuous.

Clostridium difficile toxin A (TcdA) is a toxin generated by Clostridium difficile. It is similar to Clostridium difficile Toxin B. The toxins are the main virulence factors produced by the gram positive, anaerobic, Clostridium difficile bacteria. The toxins function by damaging the intestinal mucosa.

The intestinal mucosal barrier, refers to the property of the intestinal mucosa that ensures adequate containment of undesirable luminal contents within the intestine while preserving the ability to absorb nutrients. 

The separation it provides between the body and the gut prevents the uncontrolled translocation of luminal contents into the body proper. Its role in protecting the mucosal tissues and circulatory system from exposure to pro-inflammatory molecules, such as microorganisms, toxins, and antigens is vital for the maintenance of health and well-being.

 Intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction has been implicated in numerous health conditions such as: food allergies, microbial infections, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetes, and septic shock.

In Ayurveda KAPHA ( muscous ) is always in the focus –along with PITTA ( bile ) and VATA ( flatulence). 

This is NO rocket science as some people like Deepak Chopra have make it out to be. 

A dosha, according to Ayurveda, is one of three bodily Bioelements that make up one's constitution. These teachings are also known as the Tridosha theory. 

The three bioelements are always fluctuating in the body. They are highly unstable and changes with day and night, and with food. The central concept of Ayurvedic medicine is the theory that health exists when there is a balance between three fundamental bodily bio-elements or doshas called Vata, Pitta and Kapha

The average human digestive tract is home to as many as 1,000 species of microorganisms. Most of them are harmless -- or even helpful -- under normal circumstances. But when something upsets the balance of these organisms in your gut, otherwise harmless bacteria can grow out of control and make you sick. 

One of the worst offenders is a bacterium called Clostridium difficile. As the bacteria overgrow they release toxins that attack the lining of the intestines, causing a condition called Clostridium difficilecolitis.

LET ME WRITE SOME MORE ABOUT THE VAGUS NERVE. 

YOGA DEALT PRIMARILY WITH THE VAGUS NERVE

The vagus nerve  plays a role in neurogenesis or the birth of new neurons. In India we have being doing SURYA NAMASKAR for millenniums to tweak the Vagus nerve . 

Lord Krishna wanted Arjuna to do Surya namaskar every day before battle. 

The opposition camp was gracious enough to let him complete his asana before conches were blown  to commence battle.. 

Vagus nerve activity has an antidepressant effect. 

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis stress system is out of whack in depression and vagal nerve stimulation normalizes dysregulation of the HPA axis

Vagus nerve activity promotes relaxation, lowers heart rate, and helps keep anxiety and depression at bay. Conversely, impaired vagus nerve function increases heart rate, blood pressure, the stress response and impedes digestion.

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body. It not only regulates the gut but also affects the cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, and endocrine systems. The vagus nerve innervates the liver, lung, spleen, kidneys and gut.

Vagus nerve dysfunction causes gastrointestinal symptoms. The vagus nerve increases stomach acidity, gut motility and digestive juices. A hypoactive vagus nerve results in delayed gastric emptying.

The vagus nerve keeps inflammation in check. When the vagus nerve senses inflammatory cytokines it alerts the brain to suppress inflammation via the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.

Vagus nerve stimulation inhibits the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in liver, spleen and heart. Conversely removal of part of the vagus nerve (vagotomy) exacerbates TNF responses to inflammatory stimuli.

Enterotoxin is responsible for the symptoms of food poisoning. Enterotoxin stimulates the vagus nerve and the vomiting center of the brain, resulting in sickness behavior.

Both overactive and underactive vagus nerve activity can contribute to disease and cause vagus nerve symptoms.

For example, an underactive vagus nerve can lead to gasteroparesis or delayed gastric emptying. Normally, peristalsis - a rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the intestinal muscles pushes food into the small intestine for additional digestion. 

These contractions are under the control of the vagus nerve; damage to the vagus nerve impairs peristalsis.

An overactive vagus nerve can result in an abnormally low heart rate (bradycardia), fainting (syncope), and a range of other symptoms.

The vagus nerve interfaces with the parasympathetic nervous system. 

Vagus nerve activity regulates:-- 

heart rate (decrease)

gastrointestinal peristalsis (increase)

sweating (decrease)

satiety from food (increase)

inflammation (decrease)

neural processes (decrease)

neurogenesis (increase)

glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion

The vagus nerve helps counterbalance the sympathetic innervation of the heart. The sympathetic arm of the nervous system is what mediates the fight-or-flight response. 

Stressful situations - like taking an exam - trigger the sympathetic, fight-or-flight response.

The sympathetic response increases heart rate, anxiety, concentration, blood pressure, and sweating. Animals evolved this response to better help them cope with stress.

This sympathetic response is opposed by the vagus nerve. So you won't be surprised that the vagus nerve decreases heart rate and promotes rest and digestion.

Vasovagal syncope can occur with excessive activation of the vagus nerve due to a traumatic experience. Too much vagus nerve activity can cause a drop in cardiac output, resulting insufficient blood flow to the brain (cerebral hypoperfusion).

The symptoms of vagus nerve dysfunction vary depending on whether the vagus nerve is overactive or underactive.

MANY PEOPLE MISTOOK VAGUS NERVE PROBLEMS WITH OTHER DISEASES AND EVEN ARTHRITIS

One of the most common symptoms of vagus nerve dysfunction is pain. Pain is often accompanied by muscle cramps on moving. This pain can be so severe as to interfere with walking.

Dysfunction of the vagus nerve can also cause difficulty swallowing. You may also lack a normal gag reflex if your vagus nerve is damaged. Since the vagus nerve controls some muscles in the throat, damage to the vagus nerve can also alter your voice. 

The vagus nerve plays a role in the satiety from food. Since vagal afferents transmit satiety signals from the gut to the brain. Hence, the vagus nerve would seem important for keeping appetite under control and helping to prevent development of obesity.

Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system plays a role in the development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Systolic blood pressure increased in response to rectal distension in all participants, but the increase was greater in patients with IBS. IBS patients also had lower baroreceptor sensitivity at rest and throughout rectal distention compared to healthy volunteers.

Greater systolic blood pressure response to rectal distension and associated diminished BRS suggests a compromise of the autonomic nervous system in IBS patients.

Currently, vagus nerve stimulation is an US FDA-approved therapy for treatment-resistant depression.

When functioning properly, the vagus nerve opposes the sympathetic, fight-or-flight response. Vagus nerve dysfunction leaves the sympathetic response unopposed leading to hyperarousal, anxiety, insomnia, increased heart rate and decreased rest.

Normal vagus nerve activity is needed to keep the fight-or-flight response in check.

Gasteroparesis, also known as delayed gastric emptying, can be caused by a damaged or underactive vagus nerve. The vagus nerve helps coordinate peristalsis. Peristalsis is the contraction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine, which creates wavelike movements that push food forward.

The symptoms of delayed gastric emptying include:-- 

nausea

heartburn

stomach pains

spasms in the stomach

weight loss

In the young and healthy, inflammation is a local event that resolves on its own. But the innate immune response can be come disrupted resulting in continual pro-inflammatory cytokine activity. 

This state of chronic inflammations underpins a wide range of disease states, including sepsis, 

rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and  Alzheimer's disease.

ALL THOSE WHO ARE SARCASTIC ABOUT HEATHEN AND SAVAGE  INDIANS DOING YOGA , THINK AGAIN –YOU CUNTS ! 

The Enteric Nervous System ( ENS ) is an autonomic network that can self-regulate itself and can function without peripheral or CNS input . 

This network is primarily housed in two nerve plexi and an intrinsic neural network: 

1) Myenteric plexus (Auerbach) is located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers and distributed along the entire GI tract, with a special configuration in the esophagus. Its main function is to control movement of gut contents and peristalsis including for example the migrating motor complex, accommodation reflex and transit through the stomach, small bowel and colon . 

2) Submucosal plexus  is located in the submucosal layer and regulates secretory function and sensory-motor function; and 

3) A third component is the Intrinsic Primary Afferent Neurons (IPANs) that are located between the myenteric and submucosal plexuses, play a key role in the response to intraluminal stimuli and regulation of behavior especially in the absence of CNS input. 

These neurons are essential for the regulation of local and peripherally-mediated reflexes that occur in response to various stimuli such as serotonin- Also its activation results in motor and/or secretory responses

The main role of the ENS is to control digestion, but it can also send messages to the brain that may affect mood and behavior.

Digestive issues such as irritable bowel syndrome and functional issues such as diarrhea, bloating and constipation are associated with stress and depression.   There exists a causal connection , that is bidirectional — meaning it is not always the psychological that causes the gastrointestinal problems but perhaps vice versa.   

Huge majority  of people who have autism have some kind of gastro abnormality such as digestive issues, food allergies or gluten sensitivity.

Inflammation and the abnormal processing of food  increase the risk of asthma and eczema—and diabetes, obesity, and other chronic conditions—later in life.

Antibiotics given early in life enhance susceptibility to allergic asthma.. Antibiotics given to babies the first six months of life leads to an increased risk of these kids being overweight even though these kids  mothers are of normal weight.

Because women are twice as likely to have IBS, we can be sure that hormonal changes play a role in this condition. Many women find that signs and symptoms are worse during or around their menstrual periods.

Women are aware that  their IBS gets worse just before they get their periods

A woman's menstrual cycle and the functioning of her digestive system are definitely connected.

Hormones are chemicals that are produced by the body and circulate through the body’s systems. 

The primary function of hormones is to deliver information that affects and controls how the body’s systems function. The sex hormones called “estrogen” and “progesterone” play an important role in controlling a woman’s menstrual cycle. 

These hormones have what are called “receptor cells” that are located inside of the digestive tract. This means that the digestive tract is directly affected by the changing levels of these two hormones in a woman’s body at different points in her cycle.

There are two main hormones associated with menstruation: estrogen and progesterone. These hormones do not just affect the sex organs. IBS symptoms tend to worsen as hormone levels fall. You see, just like your uterus, your gut also has receptors for these hormones, which can affect how your gut contracts, gut sensitivity and levels of inflammation.

There are receptor cells for these hormones throughout your gastrointestinal tract. This is why many women -- even those without IBS -- experience digestive symptoms related to their menstrual cycle.

Different phases of the menstrual cycle put women at risk for unwanted digestive symptoms.

In the days of the month immediately following ovulation, all women are more likely to experience bloating and constipation.

Things change as you get closer to and start menstruation. In the days just prior to menstruation (pre-menstrual) and for the first day or two when bleeding starts, women are more likely to experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea.

Women with IBS are more likely to have painful menstruation and chronic pelvic pain, which is reported by around one-third of women with IBS. During and after menopause, the levels of sex hormones in a woman’s body stop fluctuating. 

As a result, many women tend to have IBS symptom improvement after menopause.

 Lactose intolerance tests--. Lactase is an enzyme you need to digest the sugar found in dairy products. If you don't produce this enzyme, you may have problems similar to those caused by irritable bowel syndrome, including abdominal pain, gas and diarrhea.

To find out if this is the cause of your symptoms, your doctor may order a breath test or ask you to remove milk and milk products from your diet for several weeks.

VEDIC HUMPED COW GIVES A2 MILK.  WESTERN HUMPLESS COWS GIVE TOXIC A1 MILK.

Milk and dairy intolerance is often not due to lactose, but to the milk protein, something called ‘A1 beta-casein’.  If you drink milk which only has A2 milk protein the problems go away.  

IBS patients with a milk and dairy intolerance have different responses to A1 and A2 milk protein and it is proved  that that by drinking milk containing A2 protein only, people either had no symptoms.

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols. 

Foods avoided in this diet contain carbohydrates that are incompletely absorbed in the intestines and are easily fermented by gut bacteria. These undigested sugars cause gas, pain and diarrhea. Avoiding inflammatory foods and regulating digestion with fiber and probiotic rich foods is recommended to those with IBS.

Carbohydrates can be present in different forms in foods, varying from long-chain carbohydrates (e.g. starch) to simple sugars (e.g. glucose) that are well-digested and absorbed to produce energy. Fiber and resistant starch are long-chain carbohydrates resistant to digestion and are important for stool formation and normal bowel function. FODMAPs  are problematic for those with IBS. 

These short-chain carbohydrates are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and rapidly fermented by bacteria in the gut. The production of gas by these bacteria is a major contributor to symptoms. The FODMAP diet should only be implemented for a period of 4 to 6 weeks. 

The premise is that foods fermenting in the gut leads to uncomfortable side effects that mimic or magnify IBS symptoms. Some foods ferment more easily than do others. Some FODMAPs prevent stool from firming up by drawing excess water into the digestive tract (osmotically-active small molecules).

Other FODMAPs are the perfect food (substrate) on which bacteria flourish in the colon. There is little gas production in the small intestine because the bacterial concentration is low. When the undigested carbohydrates reach the colon, the bacteria that normally live there rapidly ferment them. 

This fermentation results in the production of gas, similar to the production of bubbles in the fermenting of grapes into champagne. The build-up of gas in the colon can result in discomfort, bloating, and pain. These symptoms are much more intense in individuals with IBS, as it’s likely they are already hyper-sensitive to even normal stimuli.

Avoid problem foods. If certain foods make your signs and symptoms worse, don't eat them. These may include alcohol, chocolate, caffeinated beverages such as coffee and sodas, medications that contain caffeine, dairy products, and sugar-free sweeteners such as sorbitol or mannitol.

Drink ginger tea to reduce inflammation caused by Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

In Ayurveda , the fruit cover (epicarp) of Pomegranate is ground well with lemon juice and fine paste is made.   This is taken twice daily along with warm water.  This restores the capacity of small intestine.

Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas.

Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines.

 Probiotics are "good" bacteria that normally live in your intestines and are found in certain foods, such as yogurt, and in dietary supplements.  If you have irritable bowel syndrome, you may not have enough good bacteria and that adding probiotics to your diet may help ease your symptoms.

Let me go back to Serotonin-

In the digestive tract, Serotonin is used, in part, as an accommodator of peristalsis, or the involuntary contraction/movement and operation of our digestive systems.

In the central nervous system, Serotonin is used as a neurotransmitter, improving the connection quality between neurons. It is an inhibitory neurochemical, meaning that it helps to prevent over-excitement of the neurons, promoting a sense of calm, relaxation, happiness and focus.

The brain needs inhibitory neurotransmitters to balance the effects of excitatory neurotransmission caused by chemicals such as Dopamine, Noradrenaline, Acetylcholine and Glutamate. 

Serotonin is not capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier if ingested or produced in other areas of the body. However much Serotonin is needed for internal brain functioning must be produced within the brain. Precursors for Serotonin include L-Tryptophan and 5-HTP.

Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter in the brain-gut interaction with 80% of the total body 5-HT located in the GI tract.[76] Serotonin is released by enterochromaffin cells and platelets a

Serotonin is a natural chemical in the brain and body that functions as both a neurotransmitter and a hormone.

It plays many roles in regulating mood, memory, sleep, digestion, and more.

Serotonin production is the result of an internal biochemical process of the metabolization or breakdown of the amino acid L-Tryptophan. The result of this breakdown is 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which is the direct chemical precursor to Serotonin.

Serotonin produced from 5-HTP is used by the body for various important purposes, including controlling digestion and mood.

Serotonin is produced both in the brain and in the GI tract.

About 85% of the body’s Serotonin supply is found in the intestinal tract and in blood platelets. The remaining supply is found in the central nervous system.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid. It is considered essential because it cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained through the diet or supplements. 

Tryptophan from food or supplements travels to the liver where it is broken down by the enzyme Tryptophan hydroxylase into 5-HTP and other metabolites including niacin (Vitamin B3).

The 5-HTP travels through the bloodstream to the brain, crosses the barrier separating the blood from the brain, and enters the brain tissue. In the brain, 5-HTP is converted in the pineal gland into Serotonin. In its role as a neurotransmitter, Serotonin regulates the intensity of synaptic signaling. Serotonin plays various other important roles, affecting both bodily and psychological functioning.

Here’s a partial list of what Serotonin does in the body:--

Regulation of mood, appetite, digestion, social behaviors, libido, sleep, and memory;

Supporting role in the production of breast milk;

Used for metabolizing bones;

Maintains cardiovascular system efficiency;

Helps to regenerates the liver;

Necessary for efficient cell division

There is no specific test for IBS…Diagnosis of IBS happens one of two ways, either by “diagnosis of exclusion” or the symptom based approach.  Diagnosis of exclusion may involve one or more tests such as an ultrasound, thyroid function test, endoscopy (rigid/flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, barium enema) to examine the colonic lumen for other possible pathology, complete blood count and stool examination to rule out lactose intolerance and the presence of occult blood, parasites and pathogenic bacteria … The symptom based approach uses developed criteria for the diagnosis of IBS

GANDHI HAD IBS.   

 HE WAS MISDIRECTED TO HAVING ENEMAS TWICE A DAY ADMINISTERED BY NAKED TEENAGE GIRLS— 

GANDHI WOULD RETURN THE FAVOUR.. 

WHILE IN SOUTH AFRICA HIS ENEMAS WERE LACED WITH KHAT LEAF EXTRACT ( A POTENT DRUG )

WHILE ON SHIP VOYAGES , GANDHI WOULD TAKE HIS OWN GOAT ALONG, FOR MILK

http://ajitvadakayil.blogspot.in/2017/01/mahatma-gandhi-and-his-endless.html

Serotonin does not cross the blood–brain barrier.

5-HTP readily crosses the blood-brain barrier without receptors or channels.

Serotonin does not cross the blood-brain barrier, so serotonin outside of the brain (in the gut, platelets, heart, and liver) stays separate from serotonin in the brain.

L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the immediate precursor of serotonin. It is readily synthesized into serotonin without biochemical feedback.

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid precursor of serotonin with anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, sleep, and weight loss benefits, but with some caveats.

The amino acid tryptophan is converted to 5-HTP before it is converted to serotonin.

5-HTP gets converted into serotonin both inside and outside of the brain.

You can't get 5-HTP from food. The amino acid tryptophan, which the body uses to make 5-HTP, can be found in  nuts, seeds, cheese, red meat, chicken, , fish, oats, beans, lentils, and eggs.

Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, is an important precursor for the neurotransmitter serotonin.  Serotonin is considered a “feel good” chemical, promoting feelings of sleepiness, relaxation and calm.  It is also the precursor for melatonin, another chemical important for sleep.

Surya namaskar , Yoga and Meditation controls cortisol (stress hormone) and increases the production of serotonin (mood-stabilizer hormone)

Surya Namaskar and Yoga exercise causes an increase in tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin.

Direct natural sunlight  helps serotonin synthesis

http://ajitvadakayil.blogspot.in/2015/07/atapa-snana-bathing-home-and-workplace.html

Ayurvedic massage therapy helps cut down the stress hormone cortisol while boosting serotonin levels and increasing dopamine.

Prolonged periods of stress can deplete serotonin levels. Serious and systematic stress can have an impact on the body's ability to produce and synthesize serotonin.

http://ajitvadakayil.blogspot.in/2010/11/pranayama-capt-ajit-vadakayil.html

This means that you should stay away from stressful situations as much as possible, and find healthy ways to deal with stress once it comes your way.

Pranayama and Meditation are useful tools

http://ajitvadakayil.blogspot.in/2010/11/pranayama-capt-ajit-vadakayil.html

People with IBS have been found to have less of the ‘good’ types bacteria in the gut (Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria) .. 

Ideally we want a balanced ecosystem in the gut in which the beneficial probiotic (lactic-acid producing) bacteria predominate. 

Those taking the probiotics felt less anxious and depressed and also had higher levels of friendly bacteria (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria)

http://ajitvadakayil.blogspot.in/2013/08/probiotics-prebiotics-friendly-gut.html

Again, our brains communicate with our guts via the ‘brain-gut axis’.  One part of the brain-gut axis is the same system that control our stress response.

The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (or HPA axis) prepares our bodies to be able to mount an attack or flee like the wind in face of danger. To do this various hormones and chemical are released.

These are the same substances that are used to allow the brain and gut to communicate. Therefore, it’s not surprising that stress may also affect our guts.

Ancient Yoga understood that the vagus nerve is part of your parasympathetic “rest and digest” nervous system.  Yoga stimulated the vagus nerve to effectively respond to emotional trauma and overcome it. 

Vagus nerve stimulation can enhance the “extinction of conditioned FEAR”, making it useful for severe anxiety..

Powerful emotions like anxiety are influenced by nerves in your gut. Butterflies in your stomach is a simple example. 

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter and hormone that is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses and is key to mood regulation including feelings of happiness. 

Antidepressant medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) increase serotonin levels—but can also provoke gut issues such as irritable bowel syndrome.

Again, microbes in your gut are important for the production of serotonin.   The cells that produce serotonin depend on microbes to manufacture it.

Greetings Captain.

It seems Murli Manohar Joshi reads your blog, he is saying that Muhammad used to be a yogi and namaaz is actually a yoga asan.

Nobody except you has claimed that.

This shows what a commendable reach your blog has. And sooner or later, the leaders of Bharat will have to accept this blogsite as a tool to enlighten the world.

I wish to almighty to give More power to you and to truth.

hi na,

yes , namaaz gets rid of the pin worms of the anus -

BUT

when you ground your head- it must be done on an insulating pad.

when you earth your head - the AURA OF THE HEAD DISAPPEARS - by a kirlean camera .

while meditating Hinduism requires you to sit on an insulating kusha grass mat - to retain the aura . all holy men are shown with an aura around the head like a moon.

when you put your forehead and earths it- your aura disappears.

THIS IS WHY MUSLIMS COME OUT OF THE MOSQUE AFTER FRIDAY PRAYERS - AS A DANGEROUS MOB .

muslims must note that while doing namaaz to put the forehead on an insulating mat -.

   hi a,
   
   mohammed the prophet was an indian namboodiri brahmin , whose family were caretakers of the antique shiva temple at mecca oasis for thousands of years.
   
   he introduced NAMAAZ prayer by bending down and putting the forhead on the ground.
   
   you must try this on the bed -leave your anal spincter muscles loose.
   
   so do this experiment:-
   
   eat plenty of beef --say TWO full kilos-- like how the desert Bedouins did when they killed a camel ( no fridge ).
   
   your stomach will be so heavy as ANAEROBIC BACTERIA will struggle to handle this load. these bacteria survive on methane and die in oxygen.
   
   full night you will fart. and you will be constipated .( there is NO water or vegetable fibre in the desert )
   
   after a week try another experiment.
   
   eat the same load and then do namaz 5 times a day.
   
   you intake and surcharge oxygen via your anus -- AEROBIC BACTERA now will assist . aerobic bacteria survives in oxygen and dies in methane.
   
   not only that the pin worms will NOT come out of the anus to lay eggs in oxygen rich environment--and you will have good sleep.
   
   more bedoiuns died on pin worms than any other disease.
   
   this OXYGEN SURCHARGE VIA ANUS is a 6000 year old ayurvedic remedy.

The vast majority of these single-celled visitors are based in the colon, where no less than 1 trillion reside in each gram of intestinal content.

To put that unwieldy number into perspective, our bodies consist of roughly 30 trillion cells. So, in a very real sense, we are more bacteria than man.

The  gut bacteria belong to  more than 1,000 different species in all. Collectively, they are termed the microbiome.

The links between our gut and brain are hormonal, immunological, and neural, via the central nervous system and the enteric nervous system, which governs the function of the gut. Collectively, they are termed the gut-brain axis.

In humans, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is the primary responder to stresses of any kind. It is one of the major players in the limbic system and is heavily involved in emotions and memory.

Stress activates the HPA axis and eventually results in the release of cortisol - the "stress hormone" - which has a variety of effects on many organs, including the brain and gut.

In this way, the brain's response to stress has a direct influence on the cells of the gut, including epithelial and immune cells, enteric neurons, interstitial cells of Cajal (the pacemakers of the bowels), and enterochromaffin cells (serotonin synthesizing cells).

http://ajitvadakayil.blogspot.in/2010/12/gut-feeling-and-intuition-capt-ajit.html

Ajit, my brother has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. He vomited very recently, and now has a little bit of heart ache. These Western doctors cannot be trusted, plus he also takes depression pills.

What do you think can be done to reduce these side effects? This condition is irreversible I know but still.

1. 
   Capt. Ajit VadakayilJuly 12, 2017 at 4:19 PM

   
   In Kerala we never had Ulcerative Colitis as we cooked in Virgin coconut oil and had our curries infused with fresh turmeric.
   
   Excessive consumtion of humpless cow beef causes UC
   
   Ulcerative Colitis is a condition that causes inflammation and ulceration of the inner lining of the rectum and colon (the large bowel). In UC, tiny ulcers develop on the surface of the lining and these may bleed and produce pus.
   
   The inflammation usually begins in the rectum and lower colon, but it may affect the entire colon. If UC only affects the rectum, it is called proctitis, while if it affects the whole colon it may be called total colitis or pancolitis.
   
   It’s one of the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The other is Crohn’s Disease which is monopolized by Ashkenazi Jews
   
   HOMOSEXUAL MALES WHO ENGAGE IN ANAL SEX ARE MORE PRONE TO UC
   
   Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic condition. This means that it is ongoing and life-long, although you may have periods of good health (remission), as well as times when symptoms are more active (relapses or flare-ups).
   
   The most common symptoms are:----
   • Diarrhoea
   • Cramping pains in the abdomen
   • Tiredness and fatigue
   • Feeling generally unwell or feverish
   • Loss of appetite and weight loss
   • Anaemia (a reduced level of red blood cells).
   
   One in 200 people in the west have UC because of consumption of A1 milk, processed foods and GM foods.
   
   It can start at any age, though it often appears for the first time between the ages of 15 and 25. It affects men and women equally.
   
   More than a third of people with UC develop other conditions outside of the digestive system, mainly affecting the joints, eyes and skin.
   
   Inflammation of the joints (arthritis) affects about one out of 10 people with UC. Some people with UC also develop ankylosing spondylitis, a condition in which the joints in the spine and pelvis become inflamed and stiff.
   
   A variety of other health conditions can be associated with UC, including:----
   skin problems, such as mouth ulcers, blisters and ulcers on the skin, and painful red swellings, usually on the legs
   inflammation of the eyes
   thinner and weaker bones
   liver inflammation
   blood clots (including deep vein thrombosis)
   anaemia.
   
   Flare-ups can be disruptive to relationships and work – sometimes you may need to cancel engagements and take time off when you are feeling unwell.
   
   Around a quarter of people are children or adolescents when they are diagnosed with IBD, and symptoms in young people often appear around the age of 12. Ulcerative Colitis in children tends to be more extensive in children than adults, and consequently more severe .
   
   Ulcerative colitis affects only the colon and rectum. Crohn's can affect any part of the digestive tract.
   
   In severe cases, people may have diarrhea 10 to 20 times a day.
   
   The disease can also cause other problems, such as joint pain, eye problems, or liver disease.
   
   Tests that may be done include:----
   
   A colonoscopy. In this test, a doctor uses a thin, lighted tool to look at the inside of your entire colon. At the same time, the doctor may take a sample (biopsy) of the lining of the colon.
   Blood tests, which look for infection or inflammation.
   Stool sample testing to look for blood, infection, and white blood cells.
   Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but ulcerative colitis affects only the colon. Additionally, while Crohn’s disease can affect all layers of the bowel wall, ulcerative colitis only affects the lining of the colon.
   While both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are types of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), they should not be confused with irritable bowel Syndrome (IBS), a disorder that affects the muscle contractions of the colon. IBS is not characterized by intestinal inflammation..

   Capt. Ajit VadakayilJuly 12, 2017 at 4:21 PM

   CONTINUED FROM 1 --
   
   Ulcerative colitis-----
   Limited to the large intestine (colon and rectum)
   Occurs in the rectum and colon, involving a part or the entire colon
   Appears in a continuous pattern
   Inflammation occurs in innermost lining of the intestine
   About 30% of people in remission will experience a relapse in the next year
   
   Ulcerative colitis is 3 times more common than Crohn disease.
   
   HOWEVER --CHRONS DIFFERENCE--
   
   Inflammation may develop anywhere in the GI tract from the mouth to the anus
   Most commonly occurs at the end of the small intestine
   May appear in patches
   May extend through entire thickness of bowel wall
   About 72 % of people in remission will have at least 1 relapse over the next 4 years
   
   The UC inflammation causes your bowel to move its contents rapidly and empty frequently. As cells on the surface of the lining of your bowel die, ulcers form. The ulcers cause bleeding and discharge of mucus and pus.
   
   Ulcerative colitis may cause additional conditions such as:--
   
   joint pain
   joint swelling
   nausea and decreased appetite
   skin problems
   mouth sores
   eye inflammation
   Ulcerative colitis increases your risk of colon cancer. The longer you have the disease, the higher your risk of this cancer.
   
   Other complications of ulcerative colitis include:--
   
   thickening of the intestinal wall
   sepsis, or blood infection
   severe dehydration
   toxic megacolon, or a rapidly swelling colon
   liver disease (rare)
   intestinal bleeding
   kidney stones
   inflammation of your skin, joints, and eyes
   rupture of your colon
   ankylosing spondylitis, which involves inflammation of joints between your spinal bones
   
   Tests to diagnose ulcerative colitis often include:
   
   Stool test: A doctor examines your stool for blood, bacteria, and parasites.
   Endoscopy: A doctor uses a flexible tube to examine your stomach, esophagus, and small intestine.
   Colonoscopy: This diagnostic test involves insertion of a long, flexible tube into your rectum to examine the inside of your colon.
   Biopsy: A surgeon removes a tissue sample from your colon for analysis.
   CT scan: This is a specialized X-ray of your abdomen and pelvis.
   Blood tests are often useful in the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. A complete blood count looks for signs of anemia (low blood count). Other tests indicate inflammation such as a high level of C-reactive protein and a high sedimentation rate. Your doctor may also order specialized antibody tests.
   
   
   If your symptoms are severe, you’ll need to be hospitalized to correct the effects of dehydration and loss of electrolytes that diarrhea causes and to treat any complications
   
   The severity of UC can be graded as follows:---
   Mild: Bleeding per rectum, fewer than 4 bowel motions per day
   Moderate: Bleeding per rectum, more than 4 bowel motions per day
   Severe: Bleeding per rectum, more than 4 bowel motions per day, and a systemic illness with hypoalbuminemia (<30 br="" g="">The diagnosis of ulcerative colitis is best made with endoscopy and mucosal biopsy for histopathology.
   Rectal involvement occurs even when the rest of the colon is spared.
   
   Fecal studies have shown that the composition of gut bacteria in those with ulcerative colitis is very different to that in healthy people, so probiotics may be helpful for correcting the imbalance.
   
   Your body absorbs nitrates from food that you eat and these turn into nitrites in the body. Usually, healthy urine shouldn’t contain nitrites. However, if you have any kind of bacterial infection in your urinary tract, nitrites will show up in your urine.
   
   Nitrites in your urine could also mean that you have an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Inflammation in part or all of your digestive tract is called an inflammatory bowel disease. This usually includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

   Ulcerative colitis occasionally involves the terminal ileum, as a result of an incompetent ileocecal valve. In these cases, which may constitute as many as 10% of patients, the reflux of noxious inflammatory mediators from the colon results in superficial mucosal inflammation of the terminal ileum, called backwash ileitis. Up to about 30 cm of the terminal ileum may be affected.
   
   A variety of immunologic changes have been documented in ulcerative colitis. Subsets of T cells accumulate in the lamina propria of the diseased colonic segment. In patients with ulcerative colitis, these T cells are cytotoxic to the colonic epithelium. This change is accompanied by an increase in the population of B cells and plasma cells, with increased production of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin E (IgE).
   
   The ulcerated areas are soon covered by granulation tissue. Excessive fibrosis is not a feature of the disease. The undermining of mucosa and an excess of granulation tissue lead to the formation of polypoidal mucosal excrescences, which are known as inflammatory polyps or pseudopolyps.
   .
   Ulcerative colitis is the result of an abnormal response by your body's immune system. Normally, the cells and proteins that make up the immune system protect you from infection. In people with IBD, however, the immune system mistakes food, bacteria, and other materials in the intestine for foreign or invading substances. When this happens, the body sends white blood cells into the lining of the intestines, where they produce chronic inflammation and ulcerations.
   Foreign substances (antigens) in the environment may be the direct cause of the inflammation, or they may stimulate the body's defenses to produce an inflammation that continues without control.

   85% of IBD patients are low in vitamin D
   
   DO SURYANAMASKAR
   
   HAVE NATUROLAX BEFORE SLEEPING
   
   Psyllium husk are both known to increase butyrate production. Butyrate helps to repair the intestinal wall and reduce inflammation
   
   Surgery is necessary when there is massive bleeding, chronic and debilitating symptoms, perforation of your colon, or a severe blockage. A CT scan or colonoscopy can detect these serious problems.
   
   Surgery involves removing your entire colon with the creation of a new pathway for waste. This pathway can be out through a small opening in your abdominal wall or redirected back through the end of your rectum.
   
   To redirect waste through your abdominal wall, your surgeon will make a small opening in your abdominal wall. The tip of your lower small intestine, or the ileum, is then brought to the skin’s surface. Waste will drain through the opening into a bag. You will find that Jews have this contraption maximum on this planet by percentage
   
   If waste is able to be redirected through your rectum, your surgeon removes the diseased part of your colon and rectum, but retains the outer muscles of your rectum. The surgeon then attaches your small intestine to the rectum to form a small pouch. After this surgery, you’re able to pass stool through your rectum. Bowel movements will be more frequent and watery than normal.

   Practices that may help include:----
   
   drinking small amounts of water throughout the day
   eating smaller meals throughout the day
   limiting your intake of high-fiber foods
   avoiding fatty foods
   avoiding artificial sweeteners
   
   Ulcerative colitis can be hard to live with. During a flare-up, it may seem like you are always running to the bathroom. White people who use rough toilet paper literally have no skin on their assholes. They wear red underwear
