Bacterial fermentation takes place, and feces are formed. The rectum collects undigested waste. The anus expels undigested waste.00Large IntestineIn the colon, there is liquid residue, mainly water and undigested material. Water is absorbed.

Symptoms include a burning pain in the middle or upper stomach after meals, bloating, nausea, heartburn, vomiting blood, and weight loss. Proton pump inhibitors helps reduce acid levels allowing the ulcer to heal. Include Prilosec an Protonix. 2 other treatments are Antibiotics and surgery.Cancers of the Digestive system – This is the cancer of anywhere in the digestive tract. Symptoms include Diarrhea, Constipation, Vomiting, Bleeding, and Abdominal Pain. Can be caused by too much spicy food. Treatments include surgery to remove the tumor or relieve obstruction, radiotherapy, chemotherapy if the tumor is chemo sensitive. Diarrhea – This is when bowel movements are loose and watery. It is classified as secretory, osmotic, or exudative. Diarrhea is caused by infection, eating habits, allergies to certain foods, medications, malabsorption, alcohol abuse, and more. Some symptoms include abdominal cramps, thin or loose stools, watery stool, nausea, and vomiting. It is treated by drinking at least 48 ounces of fluid per day. Over the counter medicine like Pepto Bismol also works.Lactose Intolerance – This happens when the small intestine is not able to digest the sugar lactose. Lactose is found in most dairy products. The symptoms after eating a dairy product are gas, belly pain, and bloating. It is caused when the small intestine does not make enough of an enzyme called lactase. There is no cure for lactose intolerance, but it can be treated by avoiding dairy products. Hepatitis – It is a disease that affects the liver. There are Hepatitis A, B, and C. Hepatitis A is a viral infection of the liver making you feel that you have the flu. Symptoms are extreme tiredness, loss of appetite, and muscle aches. Hepatitis B’s symptoms are jaundice, extreme tiredness, mild fever, and skin rash. Hepatitis C’s symptoms are fatigue, joint pain, belly pain, itchy skin, and sore muscles.00Stomach and Duodenal ulcers – An ulcer is an imbalance between digestive fluids in the stomach and the duodenum.
