  • Diseases like inflammatory bowel disease or an intestinal infection
  • The consumption of unripe fruit in conjunction with water
  • Mental problems such great fears, test anxiety or fear of failure that affect a direct linking of the brain to the intestine directly to these
Diarrhea is an alarm in the intestines, a defensive measure. The intestine will as soon as possible pollutants, toxins, bacteria are going to hinder him in his work. This protection mechanism is to be disturbed. He must purify them. Therefore, it is almost always comes with a watery stool, often associated with undergoing explosive flatulence.

It does not make sense, the diarrhea - which is actually a cleaning - to stop completely by medications. Then the bowel cannot excrete the feces the Pathogens and Toxins yes. But the need to get out, because the intestine absorbs almost no more nutrients, but are starting to an increased extent of water and nutrients, there are increased - often convulsive - bowel movements. Heat helps. Put a hot water bottle on the abdomen

You must go to the doctor to clarify the must, if the diarrhea was not caused by dangerous parasites. You must consider the use of probiotics. In immunocompromised patients (AIDS) is absolutely life-threatening diarrhea. Generally, everyone loses with diarrhea much liquid and packed with nutrients, minerals and trace elements.

Iron is essential for blood formation, because iron is a component of hemoglobin, which binds oxygen in the blood. As our blood carries oxygen around our bodies, is the cells found less oxygen available at an iron deficiency. If the brain supplied with enough oxygen, you get tired.

Iron is mainly in foods such as meat, eggs and milk available, but also in whole grains and legumes stuck appreciable amounts of iron. If on the iron uptake enough vitamin C is present in the body, the body iron may incidentally absorb particularly well.
