Almost always considered contagious, although they are only contagious diarrhea of infectious origin. Often, what you do is reassure the patient, make sure you get adequate amounts of fluid, and wait to see your progress. In more severe cases, or where it is important to find the cause of the disease, will require a stool culture.
The most common organisms found within these crops are Campylobacter (an organism of animal origin), Salmonella (also animal), cryptosporidiosis (animal) and Giardia lamblia (lives in drinking water). The decomposing food is associated with Salmonella infections. Shigella (which causes dysentery) is less common and usually human origin. Cholera is rare in Western countries. It is more common in travelers and is usually related to contaminated water: the ultimate source is probably sea water.
Escherichia coli is probably a very common cause of diarrhea, especially in travelers, but it can be difficult to detect with current technology. The types of E. coli vary from region to region and from country to country. Viruses, particularly rotavirus, are common in children (viral diarrhea misdiagnosed, most often by non-medical practice). Norwalk virus is rare.
Rotting food, or toxins or poisons can cause diarrhea. These toxins are the Staphylococcus (often found in dairy products that have been in contact with any infected wound of the people involved in its preparation), and Bacillus cereus (eg rice in Chinese restaurants).

Essential component for life and abundant in most foods. Water is absorbed in the intestine and then transported by the blood to other organs. Can be found in the body as part of the intracellular cell protoplasm and extracellular, and interstitial fluid, lymph, and as part of blood plasma.

FUNCTIONS

  • Transportation of nutrients and waste products
  • Regulation of body temperature
  • Solvent substances
  • Structural component of cells

Water is excreted through urine, feces, skin and lungs. The balance between loss and gain of water should be neutral because a positive balance of ending a picture of water retention and a negative a picture of dehydration.

DAILY NEEDS
Adult 35 ml / kg. weight

Child 50 or 60 ml / kg

PROTEINS

We found in meat, milk and dairy products, eggs, vegetables.

The proteins are broken down during digestion into amino acids, which are transported by the blood and distributed to different tissues.

The amino acids then reunite to form human proteins such as hemoglobin and some hormones. The proteins that the body discards are transformed into urea, which becomes part of the urine and is eliminated abroad.

FUNCTIONS

  • Provision of essential amino acids needed for growth and tissue repair
  • Balance cell osmic
  • Are part of glycoproteins, hormones, lipoproteins, enzymes, antibodies

Constitute 20% of body weight in an adult.

Carbohydrates, carbohydrates or CARBOHYDRATES

They are found in vegetables, fruit, milk.

The simpler molecules of carbohydrates are monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose and the more complex polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen.

The polysaccharides are degraded to simpler molecules in the digestive tract.

They are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles.

FUNCTIONS

  • Main source of energy (when the body lacks them as an energy source used to lipids and proteins)
  • Are part of the cell structure
  • Are constituents of the antibodies


Lipids or fats

They are found in dairy products, meats, oils and dried fruit.

Their contribution is essential fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic, arachidonic)

Represent 10% of body weight and therefore need to ingest 56 g per day to maintain this ratio.

FUNCTIONS

  • Power source
  • Protection for blood vessels, nerves and other organs
  • Components of the cell membrane
  • Appetite stimulants
  • Vehicles for the absorption of vitamins A, D, K and E
  • Components of the nervous


MINERALS

Represent 5% of body weight and regulate many body processes.

They can be:

Macronutrients or macro which need higher levels than the 100 gr. daily and are calcium, magnesium and phosphorus

  • Micronutrients and trace elements which the body needs a few Mg. daily and include iodine, copper, iron, potassium, sodium and chlorine, fluorine, sulfur, zinc and manganese

VITAMINS

Complex organic compound present in plant and animal tissues. They say cell functions and some metabolic processes.

They are produced by the body and enter it with food.

They can be:

  • Soluble if they dissolve in water and are: A, D, E and K
  • Liposolubles if they dissolve in fats and are C, B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, PP, folic acid and factor H
