Doctor Sergei Vyalov: lack of clean water harms the intestines more than eating fried and fatty foods.
Gastroenterologist and hepatologist Vyalov informed that insufficient drinking water is a habit that impairs bowel function more than does the addiction to fatty or fried foods.
“Contrary to stereotypes, fatty and fried foods have almost no effect on the intestines – everything we eat is digested in the upper sections of the digestive system, absorbed in the upper sections of the intestines,” the doctor explained.
Sergey Vyalov added: in order for the intestines to work normally, he should receive water in an amount of at least one and a half liters per day. The reluctance to drink water causes the digestive tract to begin to extract the moisture it needs from food, which makes it difficult for it to move through the intestines and contributes to constipation.

Another common cause of poor bowel function, the doctor called dysbacteriosis, in which “bad” bacteria multiply too actively in the intestinal tract. An increase in their population leads to the appearance of constipation problems, disrupts the texture of the stool, promotes bloating and excessive gas formation. The gastroenterologist clarified that dysbacteriosis occurs not only as a result of an unbalanced diet, but also under the influence of viral infections and drugs on the body. You can find out about the presence of this violation by performing a special analysis.
