Your colon, also called the large intestine, is the last four feet of your G.I. tract. Your body secretes no enzymes in the colon. If that job isn’t done before the food gets to the colon, you’re in trouble. Helped by trillions of bacteria, some digestion does take place in the first part of your colon; but generally in the second and third sections of the colon little digestion takes place and stools form. Enzyme secretion, digestion and absorption take place earlier in the digestive process, mostly in the 20 feet of the small intestine. So if the levels of stomach acid and enzymes are poor in your stomach and small intestine, then undigested food can arrive in the colon and decompose there.
The decomposition takes place with the help of some nasty microbes — bacteria and fungi — that are happy to digest what your body failed to. As these microorganisms feast on the food your body didn’t assimilate, they excrete toxins and byproducts that can really harm your health.
The colon wall absorbs water from the waste, so if waste remains in the colon too long it becomes hard and compact. Constipation is the end result (pardon the pun). If waste passes through too quickly and liquids are not sufficiently absorbed, the “end result” is diarrhea.

Be the first!
