	Colon Cleansing Benefits Intestinal Tract
		Common disorders of the intestines are: congenital defects, infection and inflammation, tumors, impaired blood supply, obstruction, peptic ulcers, and ulceration in the smaller intestine occur in typhoid.
		Worms destroy the intestinal lining, cause inflammation, irritations, infection, weak spots in the intestinal walls, and are responsible for the accumulation of some toxic waste.
		When the large intestine is partially clear you should also concentrate on cleaning the smaller intestine with an oxygen based colon cleanser because it is equally important.

	Intestinal Atresia and Stenosis, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Intestinal atresia is a broad term used to describe a complete blockage or obstruction anywhere in the intestine.
		Half of the infants with this condition are born prematurely and approximately two-thirds have associated abnormalities of the heart, genitourinary, or intestinal tract.
		Due to the high percentage of infants born with intestinal atresia who also have associated, life-threatening abnormalities, echocardiography and other imaging studies of the cardiac and renal regions may also be performed after the infant is stabilized.

	Vitamin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vitamins can be classified as either water soluble, which means they dissolve easily in water, or fat soluble, which means they are absorbed through the intestinal tract with the help of lipids.
		However, there are a few vitamins that we obtain by other means: for example, microorganisms in the intestine - commonly known as gut flora - produce vitamin K and biotin, while one form of vitamin D is synthesized in the skin with the help of natural ultraviolet sunlight.
		A secondary deficiency may be due to a lifestyle factor, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or the use of certain medications that interfere with the absorption or the body's use of the vitamin.

	WHFoods: How Does Digestion Work and How Can I Improve Mine? (Animated graphics)
		The small intestine, which is specifically designed to maximize the digestion and absorption process, has an expanded surface area with inner folds, called plicae, villi and microvilli, to increase its surface area and enhance its ability to absorb nutrients.
		The duodenum, the part of the small intestine that is closest to the stomach, is a neutralization chamber in which the chyme from the stomach is mixed with bicarbonate, which appears again, this time in the pancreatic juice.
		Trypsinogen is transported to the intestine where it is activated to trypsin by a protease enzyme on the brush border of the intestinal cells.

	Intestinal Protozoa
		It infects the urogenital tract and and causes a sexually-transmitted disease.
		Intestinal protozoa are transmitted by the fecal-oral route and tend to exhibit similar life cycles consisting of a cyst stage and a trophozoite stage (Figure).
		However, the trophozoites are predominantly found attached to epithelial cells of the small intestine (especially the duodenum and jejunum) and are rarely found in stools, except in the cases of severe diarrhea.

		The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), also called the digestive tract, alimentary canal, or gut, is the system of organs within multicellular animals that takes in food, digests it to extract energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste.
		In a normal human adult male, the GI tract is approximately 6.5 meters long (20 feet) and consists of the upper and lower GI tracts.
		The tract may also be divided into foregut, midgut, and hindgut, reflecting the embryological origin of each segment of the tract.

	A complex challenge arises when colic strikes a racehorse - theage.com.au
		Horses with gut or intestinal pain behave in a characteristic way, including looking at their side or flank, pawing at the ground, rolling on the ground and in some cases being unable to stand for more than a few seconds at a time.
		This complex intestinal tract begins with the oesophagus or food pipe leading to the stomach; then there is about 24 metres of small intestine passing to 20 metres of large and small colon, then on to the rectum.
		This complex intestinal tract poses a challenge to veterinarians investigating a horse with colic, as most of it cannot be accessed with the diagnostic aids of endoscopy, ultrasound and X-ray that help this classification.

	Probiotics - Intestinal Support - Pg 3
		The authors conclude that enhanced intestinal barrier function leading to decreases in antigen translocation were responsible for the clinical improvements seen in the infants.
		But if the goal is to have the probiotic reach the lower intestinal tract, I recommend it be taken between meals with a full glass of water because water dilutes the acids of the stomach and moves the organisms quickly into the intestinal tract.
		For therapeutic purposes, such as fighting an intestinal infection, coping with an illness, or after a course of antibiotics, an effective dose would be 5 billion to 10 billion organisms two or three times daily.

	Intestinal Flora - Lower Intestines - Acidophilus - kitchendoctor.com
		The intestinal tract is much more than an eliminatory channel with twists and turns.
		Ayurveda teaches that the nutrients absorbed in the lower intestine are used to rebuild not just skin and bones but also the nerve sheaths, brain, reproductive fluids, and the essence of the our being, something called ojas in Sanskrit.
		So, the intestinal tract is much more than a sewer line, it is a vital organ upon which we depend for nutrition of the finer type.

		Intestinal microflora are important for maturation of the immune system, the development of normal intestinal morphology, and maintenance of a continued and immunologically balanced inflammatory response.
		It is known that microbes in the large intestine complete the digestion process on any food components that were not digested in the small intestine, such as lactose in lactose intolerant people or fibers resistant to the enzymes they encounter in the small intestine.
		Some beneficial effects of lactic acid bacteria consumption include: (i) improving intestinal tract health; (ii) enhancing the immune system, (iii) synthesizing and enhancing the bioavailability of nutrients; (iv) reducing symptoms of lactose intolerance; (v) decreasing the prevalence of allergy; and (vi) reducing risk of certain cancers (2).

	Resident and Transient Microbes of the Gastro-Intestinal Tract
		The onset of chronic degenerative disease is believed by some researchers to be directly linked to the declining levels of the healthgiving bifidobacteria in the intestinal tract caused in part by the aging of the human body.
		This disappearance of bifidobacteria in the intestines is also believed to be due to the gradual disruption and change in the acid/alkaline balance of the bowels which tend to favor the growth of harmful viral and fungal organisms as well as putrefactive, disease-causing bacteria instead of the beneficial bifidobacteria.
		Disturbances of intestinal flora in connection with peristalsis disorders, liver diseases, radiation effects etc., are usually related to the restriction or disappearance of B. bifidum.

	Non-pathogenic bacteria block inflammatory response pathway in intestinal tract
		A team of Emory University pathologists has discovered that non-pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract may be responsible for blocking an immune pathway that otherwise could cause an unhealthy inflammatory response to the millions of bacteria normally present in the intestine.
		The gastrointestinal tract of humans and other vertebrates is home to a delicate bacterial balancing act in which a diverse ecosystem of non-pathogenic bacteria co-exist among potential pathogens, all under the watchful guard of protective immune cells.
		Although the intestinal non-pathogenic bacteria, or normal flora, are known to play a biological role in enabling the breakdown of certain vitamins and other substances, scientists have generally believed these bacteria to be otherwise inert residents of the GI tract.

	CCFA.org: Intestinal Complications
		The term "local" refers to complications involving the intestinal tract itself, while the term "systemic" (or extraintestinal) refers to complications that involve other organs or ones that affect the patient as a whole.
		Intestinal perforation occurs when chronic inflammation and ulceration of the intestine weakens the wall to such an extent that a hole develops in the intestinal wall.
		This perforation is potentially life-threatening because the contents of the intestine, which contain a large number of bacteria, can spill into the abdomen and cause a serious infection called peritonitis.

		These foods cause sludge to build up along the lining of the intestinal tract, which slows down the movement of feces, and allows toxins and unwanted bacteria to sit in the bowel long enough to become reabsorbed by the body.
		When the intestinal tract is allowed to become clogged, it results in poor digestion, colon dysfunction, reduced liver function, and increased toxicity throughout the entire body.
		Intestinal cleansing is the process of clearing toxins and undigested fecal matter from the body and cleansing the system of excess mucus and congestion.

	Microorganisms in the gut
		These residents of the intestinal tract are always in a state of flux: new bacteria are continuously being produced and old bacteria are continuously being flushed out in the moving intestinal contents and later as feces.
		First, when the normal bacteria in the intestine are killed off, the yeast have no competition so they are able to get the lion's hare of all the food that passes through the intestinal tract after a meal.
		The intestinal lining is thus digested by the variety of yeast enzymes including phospholipase A2, catalase, acid and alkaline phosphases, coagulatse, keratinase, and secretor aspartate protease (15-17).

	Continuous feeding and decompressing device and method - Patent 7048727
		A decompressing and feeding device for safely feeding in the gastrointestinal tract of a recovering patient continuously aspirates and feeds at a rate commensurate with the ability of the intestines to absorb fluids including nutrient.
		When concentrated nutrition is delivered to a patient's gastro-intestinal tract, the body's natural response is to produce digestive secretions to dilute the feedings and break down the complex nutrients for absorption by the intestine.
		The intestine may temporarily be capable of absorbing only 2 ml of fluid, resulting in a net increase of 10 ml to the volume of fluid in the gastro-intestinal tract.

	SCD Summary
		Intestinal permeability, commonly called “leaky gut”, means that there are larger than normal spaces present between the cells of the gut wall.
		In a healthy intestinal tract the small intestine and stomach are not inhabited by bacteria.
		But in the case of malabsorption, the undigested carbohydrates left in the small intestine cause the body to draw water into the intestinal tract.

	Probiotics Are Beneficial Bacteria That Balance The Intestinal Flora
		The three types of bacteria are essentially competing with each other for space and nutrients and in a healthy intestinal tract a balance is achieved where the pathogenic bacteria are held in check and there are enough beneficial bacteria present to perform digestive and regenerative functions.
		Resident strains are those commonly found in the human digestive tract and bacteria from supplements containing these strains are able to re-establish in the intestinal tract giving them a slight advantage.
		It is a dietary ingredient that reaches the large intestine in an intact form and stimulates the growth and/or activity of beneficial bacteria.

	Custom Probiotics - highest potency acidophilus and bifidus probiotics supplements.
		The turnover of the transient part of the microflora of the digestive tract depends both on the composition of the resident flora or Colonization Resitance, and on the degree of contamination (qualitatively and quantitatively as well) of ingested food and beverages.
		Above these structures, we find M cells, which are specialised in transporting particles to the follicle.These areas of the intestine are known as Peyer's patches.When a lymphocyte is activated by a dendritic cell presenting an antigen, it leaves the mucosa in lymph and enters the bloodstream via the thoracic canal.
		Probiotics, being able to lower the pH in the intestinal tract, may thus be able to interfere with the enzymatic activity of the flora.

		The villi increase the surface area of the small intestine to many times what it would be if it were simply a tube with smooth walls.
		Thanks largely to these, the total surface area of the intestine is almost 200 square meters, about the size of the singles area of a tennis court and some 100 times the surface area of the exterior of the body.
		The large amounts of water secreted into the stomach and small intestine by the various digestive glands must be reclaimed to avoid dehydration.
