Chronic Diarrhea, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Other Gastrointestinal Issues
From the Only Natural Pet Supplies website.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease is a condition resulting from an inflammatory condition and an infiltration of the gut wall with inflammatory cells. The lining of the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract may become thickened, nutrient absorption is compromised, and the passage of food and waste material through the gastrointestinal tract is affected.
The symptoms include:
- chronic diarrhea or loose stools (when the large intestine or colon are involved)
- difficult or painful bowel movements
- distended or tender abdomen
- possibly blood or mucous in the stool (often termed colitis)
- vomiting (when the stomach or upper small intestine are involved)
- loss of appetite and lower energy level
While there can be other, more acute and short term causes of these symptoms....The rest of the article can be read on the Only Natural Pet Supplies website.
