Diarrhea

﻿ ﻿ Diarrhea



INTRO So if you think about Diarrhea you would say EEEWWWW. To be honest, I'm not to happy with it as well however, this is a serious disease unlike how its known. The word originates from the Greek [|διάρροια] meaning "flowing through". Which quite make sence. By the World Health Organization it is defined as when three or more bowels are looses or when a liquid stool per day.

﻿__This is what happends when you have__ Diarrhea.

What happends in the body when there is a diarrhea? :O When your body is normal, the food you eat is in liquid form in your body. The gall baldder, pancreas and small intestines digestes and puts water in the food so it becomes liquidised. Then it goes through your large intestines then .... comes out! However, if your body is infected with for an example, E.coli, the evil bacterias realease toxins in the partly digested food!!!! :( To neutralise the toxin, your gall bladder, pancreas and small intestines puts in the liquidised food more water than usual. In a result, the poor large intestine tries to absorb all the water. But there is just too much water. So the poo becomes watery.

HOW LONG DOES A DIARRHEA NORMALY LAST FOR?

Normally, a Diarrhea would last only around a day to two days. Then it would go away on its own. But if last more than two days it can a a serious problem. It would be then called a Chronic Diarrhea and it can last up to 4 weeks.

This is called dehydration. Dehydration is partically dangerous to children, older adults and people with a weakened immune system. Dehydration affects most of the body since around 80% of our bodies are water. If dehydration is not treated, it can lead to a organ damage, shock, or a coma.
