The most common digestive myths
Doctors report that a significant number of persons in the United States selfmedicate and mistreat their digestive tracts, to the detriment of their general health. Some major myths commonly cited by experts in gastroenterology include the one about the necessity for a daily bowel movement. On the contrary, point out the experts, we all have our own internal “clocks,” and what may be normal for some, simply isn’t for others. Many persons believe that waste matter must be expelled one to two days after the food is eaten. Moreover, individual patterns can vary from twice a day or once every three days. Some can go without a bowel movement as long as a week without suffering the slightest ill effect. More often than not, diarrhea, constipation and even painful abdominal cramping are the result of improper diet, and have nothing to do with the myth that bowel dysfunction signals an organic disease. These symptoms may even serve as barometers of worry, fear or anxiety, rather than a signal that something is organi-

cally wrong. Most people return to their normal patterns in a few days, following a bout of constipation or diarrhea, and only a small percentage of patients with these conditions have organic dysfunction that a doctor can verify by examining the bowel. As for the myth that massage and drinking hot water are effective therapies for constipation, their only benefit is that they encourage relaxation and probably serve as a mental crutch. Believing all laxatives are alike can be dangerous. Basically, there are five types: bulk-forming agents, stimulants, saline cathartics, lubricants, and wetting agents. Some chemical laxatives act as bowel stimulants and are potentially habit forming, and can cause painful cramping. On the other hand, bulkproducing laxatives such as Metamucil—high in dietaryfiber and made from the husks of the psyllium seed—absorb water to create the bulk that helps regulate the digestive tract. Bulk-producing laxatives

promote a gentle and gradual return to regularity. It is not so that only food faddists eat rough age. With greater emphasis being placed on maintaining good eating habits, more and more people are regularly introducing roughage or dietary-fiber supplements to their health regimens. They can hardly be referred to as health-food “nuts.” They’re just aware that fruits, vegetables, whole-grain cereals and fiber supplements supply bulk to help foster smooth, easy stool passage. According to a recent report made to the American College of Gastroenterology, emotional tension and life stresses frequently manifest themselves in the irritable bowel syndrome, with resulting symptoms of recurrent diarrhea, alternating with constipation, and increased flatulence. 'Hierefore, the myth that constipation and/ or diarrhea are strictly physical phenomena is not true at all. As one physician so aptly puts it, “The G.I. (gastrointestinal) tract becomes the sounding board of the emotions.”
