How to treat intestinal dysbiosis in adults with folk remedies

How to suspect dysbiosis

In the intestines of every person there is a huge number of microorganisms: beneficial (ensure the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and the functioning of the body as a whole), conditionally pathogenic (doing neither harm nor benefit) and pathogenic (can lead to diseases of internal organs). An imbalance between them, consisting in a decrease in the number of beneficial bacteria and an increase in the number of others, is called dysbiosis.

The first main signs of a violation of the intestinal microflora may be:

• discomfort or pain in the abdomen;
• flatulence;
• diarrhea.

If dysbiosis progresses, then these symptoms may be added to:

• pain in the intestines;
• impaired digestion and absorption of food, manifested by the presence of pieces of food in the stool;
• general exhaustion of the body;
• anemia, severe weakness;
• avitaminosis;
• loss of appetite;

Diet for intestinal dysbiosis

To prevent the development of intestinal dysbiosis, you need to eat right. The basic nutritional rules are as follows:

1. You will have to completely give up fatty foods.
2. Excessively spicy foods are prohibited.
3. It is recommended to eat less foods that contain high concentrations of sugar. For example, pastries, pies, sweets, etc. They will enhance the fermentation process in the intestines.
4. It is not recommended to drink water immediately after eating, as it will dilute the gastric juice, so that its concentration will decrease. As a result, food is digested much slower and worse.
5. It is not recommended to drink coffee or tea after eating.
6. It is better to focus on proteins, that is, eat meat. But it should be stewed or boiled.
7. It is allowed to eat bread, but it must be stale.

If you have dysbacteriosis, it is better to reduce your alcohol consumption. And if you can’t completely give up such drinks, then you need to choose stronger options. For example, whiskey or vodka will do. But champagne, wine, and beer increase fermentation, causing exacerbations and unpleasant symptoms.

It is better to exclude pickles and sauerkraut from the diet. You need to eat less salads that contain cellulose, as it irritates the mucous layers of the large intestine. As a result, people who suffer from dysbiosis develop diarrhea. Plant fiber (and this is cellulose) is found in large quantities in spinach, green salad, beets, and cabbage.

But the most important rule is this: you should not focus on the timing of meals and quantity. You need to eat at the time when your appetite appears. Each person's body is individual, so you just need to listen to your desires. If some foods cause discomfort, you should temporarily avoid them. Eating right should become a good habit. In addition, medications are prescribed that contain lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. This therapy is the basis of treatment.

How is dysbiosis treated?

For the treatment of dysbiosis, drugs containing:

• prebiotics – prepare the intestines for the colonization of normal microflora;
• probiotics – populate the intestines with beneficial microorganisms;
• synbiotics – combined (contain pre- and probiotics).

Such treatment is often considered ineffective, since foreign microflora does not take root well in the intestines, and ordinary food products serve as analogues of these drugs. Prebiotics are products containing plant fiber (oatmeal, corn porridge, rye bread, bean bran, etc.). Probiotics – fermented milk products.

Healthy food is quite capable of providing a cure for dysbiosis. Enough proper nutrition and many problems can be avoided.

An infusion of garlic and kefir helps a lot with dysbacteriosis.

You will need two heads of garlic, 4-5 medium-sized onions, which must be chopped with a knife and poured with a liter of kefir.

The mixture is mixed well and refrigerated for five days. For seven days, you need to take the infusion one tablespoon three times a day.

Kefir is an excellent remedy for the prevention and treatment of dysbiosis, as it actively suppresses pathogenic microflora.

It is better to drink it between meals, and in the morning an hour before meals. Garlic also helps get rid of intestinal problems: to do this, you need to swallow it as a whole clove, but not chew it.

The first clove is swallowed like a pill in the morning before meals, and the second in the evening, a couple of hours after dinner. In fourteen days of such treatment you will get rid of dysbiosis.

Will traditional medicine help?

Folk remedies in the case of dysbiosis, which is not a symptom of a serious disease, can replace drug therapy.

If the intestinal microflora is disturbed, a competent doctor will never make a non-existent diagnosis - dysbiosis, since such a disease does not exist. The specialist will first of all carry out a competent diagnosis, thanks to which he will be able to determine the causes of intestinal tract pathology. If dysbiosis is caused by poor nutrition, taking antibiotics or another similar etiology, then he will prescribe a diet, and folk remedies will help eliminate unpleasant symptoms and contribute to the restoration of the body.

But you need to use folk remedies with caution, having first consulted with your doctor.

Contraindications and precautions when using traditional recipes

Any folk remedies should be used with caution - do not underestimate them! Particular attention should be paid to the treatment of young children - their body is much weaker than that of adults and it is often difficult to predict its reaction to a particular substance.

Basic safety rules when using folk remedies in the treatment of dysbiosis:

• If you have any serious diseases of the internal organs, you should consult a doctor;
• If you are prone to allergies, use products containing potential allergens with caution;
• do not use several remedies at the same time for treatment - choose one prescription and follow the treatment regimen;
• do not try to use more of the substance than recommended in the recipe - this may lead to negative consequences.

Natural antiseptics

To reduce the growth of pathogenic microflora, doctors prescribe antibiotics and antiseptics. And we will try to make do with folk remedies.

Sometimes dysbiosis develops precisely due to long-term use of antibacterial agents. Despite this, doctors often begin treating patients with these drugs.

Doctors and healers suggest killing “bad” flora with folk remedies that have a pronounced antimicrobial effect. These include medicinal herbs and honey.

The following herbs have an antimicrobial effect: sage, coltsfoot, St. John's wort, anise, chamomile, rose hips, plantain. Decoctions are prepared from these plants and should be consumed internally. Treatment usually lasts from 2 weeks to a month. Here are some simple and effective recipes:

Recipe No. 1

Mix the raw materials of chamomile, plantain leaves, St. John's wort and rose hips. A tablespoon of the mixture should be brewed with boiling water (0.5 liters). Next, the solution is placed in a water bath and heated for at least half an hour. Treatment is carried out for 3 weeks. Drink half a glass of this solution daily before each meal.

Recipe No. 2

Mix the raw materials of sage, rose hips and strawberry leaves. Brew a tablespoon of this collection with boiling water and leave for 1 hour in a water bath. After this, you can drink a quarter glass of this solution 0.5-1 hour before meals. The treatment is long-term (about a month), but with regular action the dysbacteriosis will go away over time.

Treatment with honey is not only healthy, but also delicious therapy. Dysbacteriosis is characterized by the proliferation of Proteus, staphylococcal and streptococcal flora. Honey with its antimicrobial effect inhibits the growth of these microorganisms. To do this, you need to drink a spoonful of honey diluted in a glass of water for 45 days after meals.

Unconventional treatment has contraindications. Consult your physician before using it.

Dysbacteriosis responds well to treatment with folk remedies. Under the influence of decoctions of medicinal herbs, the number of “harmful” bacteria is reduced. After the pathogenic microflora is killed, beneficial bacteria will actively multiply.
