What are the dangers of mucoid plaque?
• Slower transit time. • Bacteria in the intestines begin to ferment this stagnant food, causing gas and bloating. • Undigested, fermenting waste becomes sticky, and when it passes through the colon, part of it adheres to the walls, creating layer after layer of tough, glue-like feces that cannot be removed by peristalsis. Feces become dehydrated, leading to constipation. • Feces become trapped in the pockets along the length of the colon wall, known as diverticuli, which can result in stagnation, infection, and inflammation (diverticulitis). • The toxic process can also lead to colitis or irritable bowel syndrome, and can even contribute to colon cancer.
