Why is there

Often, the body does not have enough of certain proteins - enzymes that help break down and digest certain components of food, and it ultimately is not fully processed. A person may feel it within 48 hours after ingestion.

Sometimes food intolerance provoked by taking certain drugs that disrupt the activity of enzymes - a reaction to caffeine, salicylates, histamine can vary up to a similar failure. Amino acids contained in food, sometimes seem safe in vain. Of particular danger are toxic components that negatively impact on the body when food is not well thermally treated.

Symptoms of the presence of food intolerance can also be different. Very often, the illness manifests itself at the level of the gastrointestinal tract when a person experiences nausea, heartburn, heaviness in the stomach, constipation. There may also be respiratory disorders (asthma, rhinitis) and skin manifestations of urticaria and eczema Eczema - is difficult to treat .

All this may be accompanied by headache Headache: Causes and Complications , Dizziness Dizziness - if the ground is slipping from under his feet , Rapid heart rate and a violation of the pressures that lead to the inability to properly carry out their daily functions - the person becomes nervous, irritable, there is insomnia, muscle tension.

Types of food allergies

Types of food intolerance are many, because so difficult to identify that which is available to the individual. Very common are allergic to lactose, which makes it impossible to use dairy products. She suffers from one in ten in the world. Sometimes as carbohydrate intolerance, fructose, which provoked metabolic disorders Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things . Alcohol intolerance rampant in Asian countries.

Speaking of Asian ... Popular in the West Asian dishes, which are characterized by their sharpness due to the content of specific components for the person just Western are often deprecated and intolerable - their body unaccustomed to such food allergies can react the strongest.

Inflammatory bowel disease chronicity - is a sure sign that a person is bound to be some kind of intolerance, because at the level of intestinal body can not adequately carry out their work on the splitting and assimilation of food.

To determine if you are allergic to a particular component, it is necessary to conduct a series of tests that include allergy tests and endoscopic examinations. At the time, until the person passes the different types of research, it is assigned a special diet, which reveal the presence or absence of certain substances portability.

Dietary

Treatment of food intolerance is to use diet, during which the need to limit the use or even stop taking certain foods, to restore the body to its harmonious state, and not to provoke new outbreaks. It should also be deleted from its life stressful situations which disturb greatly body work and even if there is intolerance to certain food, it may provide indications of its presence through an allergic reaction and other abnormalities.

Doctors do not recommend an adult to consume raw milk, drink plenty of strong tea, coffee and alcohol abuse. All this violates the liver, which is responsible for blocking harmful substances, poisoning the body.

Methods of treatment of hepatitis C with its chronic course

The goal of treatment of such patients is the maximum suppression of viral replication and restore liver function. To suppress the active virus replication is assigned to combined antiviral therapy. The indication for its purpose is to detect in the blood of a patient with hepatitis C virus RNA (RNA HCV). This takes into account the general condition of the patient, condition of the liver and its potential risk of side effects of antiviral drugs, which can be considerable. Therefore, to determine the strict indications for antiviral treatment used today results of histological examination of liver tissue taken by biopsy. With minimal risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver antiviral therapy can be postponed.

The latest treatments for hepatitis C - a combination antiviral therapy: a combination of alpha - interferon ribaverinom. The effectiveness of antiviral treatment depends on the correct selection of the dose and duration of treatment of these drugs.

Most modern drugs for hepatitis C is a pegylated interferon (peg-IFN), which in contrast to conventional (short, they are administered every other day) of interferons significantly longer maintains the desired drug concentration in the human body - just one injection per week.

Currently produces two types of Peg-IFN: peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys - pharmaceutical company Hoffmann - La Roche, Switzerland), peginterferon alfa-2b (PegIntron - the pharmaceutical company Merck, Germany). As ITP-pegylated delayed in humans and its longer effect due to special additives increases, its efficiency is higher than with short interferons without increasing side effects.

Another cure for hepatitis C - ribaverin, it is usually administered at the same time as the second interferon antiviral drug. Ribaverin refers to a group of synthetic nucleoside analogues having an antiviral effect and the treatment of hepatitis Treatment of hepatitis - a difficult task   Since only in combination with interferons. The mechanism of the antiviral effect of ribavirin in this case is unknown. Nevertheless, the use of combination antiviral therapy allows to achieve sustained suppression of the replication of hepatitis C virus in 60% of patients with type 1 virus and up to 85% in patients with viruses types 2 and 3. HCV treatment protocol typically involves these two antiviral drug.

Nevertheless, the combination of interferon with ribaverinom not always effective. In such cases a part of complex treatment of injected drugs of protease inhibitors (enzyme required for viral replication), resulting in the percentage of cured patients is significantly increased. These drugs are also recommended to assign patients with liver cirrhosis. For drugs in this series are INSIVEK (telaprevir, INCIVO) and boceprevir (VICTRELIS).

They are used as drugs for the treatment of hepatitis C with hepatoprotective action. Effective hepatoprotectors group of essential phospholipids, which have the ability to reduce fatty changes in the liver and neutralize free radicals (and Essliver Essentiale forte). They promote sufficiently rapid restoration of liver cells, slowing down growth therein connective and adipose tissue. Hepatoprotectors Heptral Geptral - protection and support to the liver and not only   It has detoxifying, regenerating, antioxidant effects, inhibits the growth of connective tissue in the liver (ie, fibrosis and cirrhosis). Scheme geptralom treat hepatitis C: 800 mg per day for one - two weeks, intravenously, with a transition to reception of the drug inside at 400-800 mg (1-2 tablets) for two weeks.

It is also effective to use hepatoprotector Ursosan choleretic action. It is administered in the form of a continuous course over time - from several months to several years, 2-5 capsules per day. After active treatment is often prescribed hepatoprotectors vegetable origin, such as Kars.

Methods of treatment of hepatitis C is constantly being improved. However, a new treatment for hepatitis C appear less frequently - an obstacle is constant mutating virus.

Side effects in the treatment of hepatitis C.

The side effects of antiviral treatment for hepatitis C can be considerable, they add up mainly of the side effects of interferon and ribaverina. Approximately 10% of patients with antiviral treatment was discontinued because of side effects that occur in each of the third through fifth-patient.

Side effects of pegylated alpha-ITF-2a - Pegasys: fever, chills, weakness, irritability Irritability - you try to control my temper , Chest pain, flu-like symptoms, lethargy, thirst, weight loss. When receiving Pegasys may develop benign and malignant liver tumors, thrombocytopenia (associated with increased bleeding), anemia, changes in the thyroid gland, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, diabetes, a complete lack of appetite, dehydration, disorders of the central nervous system (headaches, dizziness, depression, insomnia, seizures, hallucinations), visual and hearing impairment, heart rate, increased blood pressure, angina attacks, hemorrhagic strokes, nosebleeds, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, unstable stool, bleeding gums How to prevent bleeding gums: important rules , Flatulence, dry mouth, abnormal liver function, alopecia, dermatitis, pain in muscles and joints, muscle weakness, renal dysfunction, impotence.

Acceptance of Pegasys is contraindicated in children under three years, pregnant women, nursing mothers and in case of hypersensitivity to alpha interferons, autoimmune diseases, severe violations of the liver, decompensated liver disease, severe cardiovascular diseases.

The side effects of hepatitis C treatment can be enhanced also by ribaverina. Ribaverin has the following side effects: a decrease in hemoglobin due to the destruction of red blood cells, anemia, reduction of blood leukocytes, including granular (low immunity) and platelets (increased bleeding), thyroid dysfunction, allergic reactions, reduction in blood pressure, changes in laboratory indicators.

Application ribaverina contraindicated in severe diseases of the cardiovascular system, the thyroid gland, certain blood disorders, kidney function and liver, severe depression, autoimmune diseases, as well as during pregnancy (ribaverin teratogenic, so the pregnancy can be planned only six months after the course treatment), breast-feeding and the presence of hypersensitivity to the drug.

Combined treatment for hepatitis C may appoint a doctor with all the indications and contraindications. When the independent use of antiviral drugs for hepatitis C treatment effects can be disastrous.

Currently, new methods of treatment of hepatitis C, including regimens without interferon. But doctors hepatologists believe that these techniques will be fully worked out and introduced into clinical practice only after several years.

Treatment of hepatitis C - this is a serious problem that only by doctors with special training in hepatology.
