A

intermittent food allergies or irritant (like caffeine)

91
Q

osmotic diarrhea

A

increased amounts of osmotically active solutes (**epsom salt & mag sulfate), water rushes into the colon area resulting in diarrhea
tube feeding

92

causes by some kind of bacteria or toxin which increases secretion & inhibits reabsorption of water in the gut bacteria: vibrio cholerae & staph aureus

93
Q

exudative diarrhea

A

active sites of inflammation in the bowel lumen that results in excitation of mucus, blood & protein from those sites open internal wounds, water gets pulled into the intestines leading to diarrhea Crohns & UC

94
Q

diarrhea related to motility disturbances
