Dysbacteriosis kishechnika- is a condition in which a child is a violation of the ratio of Representatives gut Which should be observable in a normal state. If guided by the criteria of the World Health Organization, the goiter do not carry disease. For example, many scientists believe that dysbiosis - a consequence of the presence in humans of other pathologies. However, goiter in children yavletsya a serious problem and a threat to health.

For the normal functioning of the body as a whole it is very important the role of the human intestinal microflora. It is responsible for the normal microflora in the intestines of gas exchange, synthesize vitamins, stimulates cell regeneration of the intestinal mucosa, cleanses the body of harmful toxins   etc.

The kid is born, with a sterile intestine, and the microorganisms colonize it immediately after birth. In the first hours and days of the life of the body and adapted microflora, thus there is a formation of the body of the ecosystem, which becomes unsuitable for colonization with new microorganisms. Children who are fed breast milk and artificial, in every case, there are particular microflora. If the child remains in full-fed breast milk, then he has more in the intestine bifidobacteria Which actively proliferate under the action of substance present in breast milk.

Stages of dysbiosis in children

Dysbacteriosis children manifested by changing the number and composition of microorganisms in the intestine, at which drastically reduced the amount of beneficial bacteria, thus increasing the number of harmful microorganisms.

The symptoms of dysbiosis manifest more or less depending on what stage of the disorder occurs in a child. The first stage of dysbiosis in infants can be determined only after an analysis of feces child. This pronounced signs of dysbiosis of the child at this stage do not appear. But the results of microbiological studies of feces indicate that the number of bifidobacteria decreased. There may also be a reduced number of lactobacilli   and normal coli bacteria .

In the second stage symptoms manifest constant dysbiosis constipation . This occurs due to the increase in the infant gut of opportunistic pathogens, which include Candida . Proteus   and others. At the same time continuing to cut the beneficial bacteria.

For this phenomenon is characterized by periodic diarrhea, has an unpleasant smell and some admixture of green. In the third stage of dysbiosis in children, which is called decompensation , Increasing the quantity and variety of pathogenic bacteria in the gut of the baby. This stage is characterized particularly severe symptoms of dysbiosis. Sick child turns pale, he was constantly lethargic, has a poor appetite and thus lose weight. Disbkterioz in infants less than one year of age, can occur atopic dermatitis   ( diathesis ). At the third stage of the disease and unhealthy baby chair: odorous, liquid consistency, it may contain particles of food that is not digested. Similar phenomena - the result of failure enzymes Which manifests itself at this stage. If the child has signs of dysbiosis manifested described, then he may need treatment in a hospital, because such a state shortfall threatens the infant needed nutrients.

If the child is disturbed intestinal absorption, in this case, the symptoms of dysbiosis manifested diarrhea putrid fermentation, flatulence . Reduced weight baby, symptoms of polyhypovitaminosis . As a result, the child may develop toxic-degenerative condition. Gradually, in the pathological process is activated pancreas and hepatobiliary system. As a result, in the body there is a lack of enzymes and bile acids. Violated the metabolic processes in the body is an accumulation of macromolecules is not fully digested food, provokes the development of allergic .

Dysbacteriosis have older children provokes persistent constipation , The occurrence of intestinal colic . unstable chair . dyskinesia   intestines. The child sometimes complains of constant belching, feeling of fullness in the stomach strong. The appetite gradually decreases. If intestinal dysbiosis is continuing a long period, the child is suffering from total intoxication   and body asthenoneurotic syndrome . However, the variant of the disease, when clinical symptoms of disorders of intestinal microflora can not be detected.

The hardest hit among children occurs common disbakterio s In which pathogenic microorganisms from the intestines fall into other organs. This could trigger the development of inflammatory processes in the different organs of the body.

The analysis on a dysbacteriosis held for about one week after for its full implementation requires that the colonies of fecal microorganisms grown in a special medium. When the colonies grow, the specialist can determine the ratio of their quantity and quality. It is important that the collected feces was taken for analysis on a dysbacteriosis not later than three hours after collection. This method allows to determine only the content of microorganisms in the final part of the colon, although food is digested predominantly in the small intestine. Therefore, it should be noted that the microorganisms that are in feces, and microorganisms from the intestines are not identical.

In addition, the results of which allows you to get analysis on dysbiosis will not be stable. After all, each laboratory can be estimated only about a dozen species of bacteria in the gut and may be about a hundred of their species.

They are processed lactose, and eventually produce lactic acid, lowers the pH of the intestine. Therefore, children who are breast-fed, ill dysbiosis less. At the same time the children are fed artificial mixtures multiplication of bifidobacteria either not occur at all, or they are in the intestine only in small quantities.

To overcome the more serious forms of dysbiosis, applied substitution therapy. In this case, we are talking about the treatment of dysbiosis by administering to the patient a child missing component to it.

When dysbacteriosis used those drugs that contain live bacteria that restore normal levels of microflora - the so-called probiotics. These drugs are not a cure, but rather a functional food. Today, there are a lot of different foods, which contain culture bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. There are also preparations of bacteria ( Linex . Subtitle . bifidoform . laktobakterin   et al.), which help to restore normal intestinal microflora. These preparations contain live bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Therefore, goiter, provoked by antibiotics, such treatment is appropriate.

The duration of treatment with these drugs by a doctor. Generally, administration of drugs may last a few weeks or several months. If the treatment of dysbiosis started on time and carried out correctly, the result is possible to prevent the occurrence of a number of diseases of the digestive tract, and diseases that occur due to malnutrition.
