The five elements of life: eating, drinking, pooping, scattering and sleeping, without one, human beings cannot survive normally. In addition to the innate physiological instincts of human beings, eating, drinking, shitting, scattering and sleeping are also signals to us whether our body is healthy or not. If one of these five elements appears abnormal, it is suggesting that we have a physical lesion and should be alerted. When our body has unformed stools and farting, it means that there is a problem with the “pull” element of the five elements of life. Unshaped stool means that the stool is repeatedly thin and soft like mud, and when it sees water, it spreads out, or it is accompanied by indigestible substances. The factors that cause stools to become unshaped can be summarized as follows: 1, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the colon, commonly ulcerative colitis, manifested as unshaped stools, accompanied by mucus, blood stools and other symptoms; 2, lactose intolerance, small intestine disease absorption dysfunction, resulting in unshaped stools; 3, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, the symptoms are caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach, intestinal function abnormalities; 4, thyroid disease: such as hyperthyroidism, manifested as hyper digestion, increased intestinal peristalsis, and unformed stool; 5, gallbladder stones, gallbladder inflammation and chronic cholecystitis, reduced bile secretion, intake of fatty foods can not be fully digested, can appear unformed stool, or even diarrhea; 6, long-term unexplained unformed stool, should draw the attention of patients, need to be alert to the occurrence of intestinal cancer, it is recommended to be admitted to the hospital for colonoscopy. Short-term stool irregularity: the possible cause is the change of dietary habits, such as business trip to a different place or intake of uneaten diet. If it is not accompanied by symptoms such as pus and blood, diarrhea, etc., and the number of stools does not exceed three times a day, there is usually no problem. However, if the stool is not formed for a long time, more than a month, there is a problem. The irregularity of stool is accompanied by excessive farting. This is usually due to excessive accumulation of waste gas in the intestinal tract, and is also mostly related to poor digestive function of the stomach and intestines. It is better to go to the hospital for a professional examination to be safer for the specific cause.
