Intestinal transit
Food has a long way to go. During this gastrointestinal odyssey, which can last thirty-six hours, the food is chewed and predigested in the mouth and descends, via the esophagus, towards the stomach, propelled by undulatory movements of the esophageal wall. Located at the entrance to the stomach, the cardiac glands lubricate the food that enters it. The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid and a number of enzymes that aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and dietary lipids. Once liquefied, food slides in the direction of the duodenum and arrives in the small intestine, responsible for the end of digestion and the absorption of food products (nutrients) usable in the lymphatic system and the blood circulation.
We can speak of constipation when the stools are hard, dry and difficult to evacuate. In general, this is diagnosed below 3 bowel movements per week. Occasional constipation most often results in bloating and stomach pain , but can lead to serious complications.
Each sachet must be dissolved in 100 ml of water (i.e. a glass of water, preferably non-carbonated). Once the sachet is dissolved, take this medication quickly.
Transipeg comes in the form of a sachet.
