How to determine the normal peristalsis of the small intestine

Normal small bowel peristalsis can be determined by symptoms such as abdominal symptoms, bowel movements, and flatulence. 1. Normal peristalsis is a 24-hour rhythmic peristalsis, and normal peristalsis can push food and debris downward. 2. The normal state of small bowel peristalsis is characterized by soft yellow stools without bad odor. Bowel movements are usually 1~2 times/day or 1 time/2 days. 3. The intestinal tract will reduce the pressure of the intestinal lumen through anal defecation. The intestinal tract generates gas through regular peristalsis to produce food residues in the process of digestion, which leads to an increase in the pressure of the intestinal lumen and thus defecation. Patients need to pay attention to the sudden increase or cessation of gas evacuation, or the appearance of bloating. Patients are advised to have a regular routine, maintain a healthy diet, and develop regular bowel habits. Patients should have regular checkups to detect possible problems in the intestines and prevent them from occurring in the first place. If there is any discomfort, seek medical attention promptly.
