Can enzymes cure constipation?

Many people usually have the habit of taking enzymes. Enzymes have a certain effect in alleviating constipation. Enzymes are actually a kind of enzyme in the body that can break down body fat and promote digestion and absorption. To treat constipation, you must develop the habit of eating less spicy and irritating foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, remember not to overeat, and eat regularly. These are all good for constipation.

Many people have a cold constitution and usually have a cold stomach. If a person with a cold stomach suffers from constipation, the situation will be more serious. After drinking the enzyme, the garbage that was previously blocked in the intestine will rush to the back of the intestine due to the cleansing effect of the enzyme, and finally cause a temporary blockage in the intestine, so it will be more difficult to defecate.

At this time, we generally recommend that you drink more hot water, and try to drink more water every day, then use a hot pack to warm the stomach for 1-2 hours, and rub yourself more, and the problem will be solved immediately.

Some people experience temporary constipation after drinking enzymes. This may be due to the following situations:

1. Before drinking enzymes, you may have been taking drugs containing laxative ingredients for a long time, which may lead to drug dependence after stopping.

2. For those with gastrointestinal dysfunction or hidden problems, enzymes will play a powerful repair role and help the body identify these problems. There will be an improvement and conditioning reaction during the repair process. During the entire repair process, the intestinal mucosa is tense and the peristalsis is stiff, which will affect defecation.

3. Enzymes have particularly good high-fiber components. After absorbing water and swelling, they are like a very gentle little brush that can bring out all the garbage in the corners of the intestines. If you don’t drink enough water, your intestines will not be moistened enough, which can cause temporary difficulty in defecation. Some people suffer from chronic dehydration, and drinking enough water once or twice is not enough. So it will take some time to repair. Once it's unblocked, there will be no problem. The normal daily water intake for a normal person is 2000 ml. The more enzymes you take, the more water you need to drink.

4. There is another situation: people who have irregular daily life and diet and often stay up late will have more toxins in their bodies, and because of the decline in body functions, such as the respiratory system and blood circulation system, it is easy to cause insufficient oxygen supply to the body and lack of oxygen in the body. When the enzyme comes into contact with some harmful E. coli, a series of decomposition reactions will occur. Due to lack of oxygen, a series of incomplete oxidation reactions will occur, which will cause poor motility in the intestines and easily lead to constipation. This will also produce a lot of methane and other gases, so it is inevitable that the frequency of flatulence will increase, and therefore you will fart more.

5. During the period of taking enzymes, eating less or not drinking enough water will reduce the stimulation to colon movement. Work stress, fast pace of life, changes in the nature and time of work, and mental factors are also one of the causes of constipation.

After drinking enzymes, I pass a lot of gas, but I am constipated. What is the reason?

Eating enzymes can cause constipation, which is essentially a short-term oxygen deficiency in the body. This phenomenon mainly exists among people who have irregular lifestyles and diets and often stay up late, as these people have more toxins in their bodies.

While drinking enzymes, when the enzymes come into contact with some harmful E. coli, a series of decompositions will occur. Due to lack of oxygen, a series of incomplete oxidation reactions will occur, which will cause poor peristalsis in the intestines and produce a lot of methane gas. Constipation occurs in this situation.

Many people mistakenly believe that the methods for treating constipation seem to be universal. In fact, no matter what the problem is, it varies from person to person.

Atonic constipation: Eat more high-fiber, gas-producing foods and increase fat intake.

Spasmodic constipation: low-fiber or residue-free food, no gas-producing food, and avoid excessive fat intake.

Obstructive constipation: Eat clear liquid food.

Regardless of the type of constipation, sufficient water, inorganic salts and vitamins must be provided. A reasonable diet is the best way to prevent constipation. If constipation has already occurred, it is best to go to the hospital first to determine whether it is caused by organic diseases or mental factors, medication factors, etc. Diet can only prevent or improve common constipation.
