Inflammation can be limited by the intestinal wall, which may lead to scarring (stenosis), or distributed through the walls in the intestinal lumen (fistulas).

Signs and symptoms of Crohn's disease range from mild to severe, develop gradually or occur suddenly, without any warning signs. After the development of Crohn's disease occurs with periods of inactivity (remission) and activity (relapse).

When the disease is in an active stage, you experience the following signs and symptoms:

• Diarrhea. As a result of inflammation that occurs in Crohn's disease, the cells of the affected areas of the intestine secrete large amounts of water and salt. Since the colon can not completely absorb this excess fluid, there is diarrhea. Intensive intestinal cramps and diarrhea contribute. It is the most common and characteristic symptom of Crohn's disease.
• The pain and abdominal cramps. Because inflammation and ulceration intestinal wall lesions swell and eventually thicken by the formation of scar tissue that interferes with normal movement of the contents of the gastrointestinal tract. As a consequence, there is pain and cramps. Mild forms of Crohn's disease usually causes little or mild discomfort in the gut, but in more severe cases the pain can be severe and accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
• The presence of blood in the stool. When moving food through the digestive tract inflamed tissue may bleed. It is also possible bleeding in the intestine, irrespective of diet. In this case, the feces visible blood clots or feces becomes darker due to the presence of blood.
• The formation of ulcers. Crohn's disease causes the formation of small intestinal ulcers on the surface that ultimately are converted to large ulcers, penetrates, and sometimes through the intestinal wall. In the mouth sores can appear as with aphthous stomatitis.

Researchers believe that an important role in the development of Crohn's disease plays a number of factors, such as heredity and immune system disorders.

• Disorders of the immune system. It is possible that viral or bacterial infection can cause Crohn's disease. When the immune system is trying to repel microorganisms, pathological immune response may also be directed to the cells of the digestive tract.
• Heredity. Crohn's disease is more common in people whose relatives have suffered from this disease, so the experts suspect that one or more genes increases a person's susceptibility to Crohn's disease.

Foods high in carbohydrates increases the likelihood of severe regurgitation, as these products contribute most gassing.

With food allergies can also cause burping. This is especially true because of the foods such as apples, peaches Peaches: benefits and harms of sun fruits , Pears, cabbage, broccoli, beer, lettuce, candy, beer, chewing gum, chocolate and mint.

Production of digestive enzymes is controlled by neurotransmitters which transmit commands from the brain. Another reason for regurgitation may be insufficient production of gastric juice.

Natural treatment for regurgitation

To cope with this problem, you need to stud. Cloves stimulate the parietal cells of the stomach to gastric juice it produces.
