    in passing of stool. Faulty digestion and poor absorption of the digested material explains the high solute concentration. Improper balances of the normal micro flora can also result in high concentrations of solute in the lumen because some of the bacteria in the gut aids in adequate and sufficient digestion. Therefore a lack there of would hinder proper function. Dr. Bharucha also mentions that “rapid intestinal transit and diminished surface area impair digestion” therefore leading to diarrhea

The proteins will be flushed out of the body quicker than usual with the high vulnerability of malabsorption. Pepsin begins the enzymatic digestion of the ingested proteins; they linger in the stomach longer than most of the ingested food and the end result of gastric protein digestion is a chyme of mostly polypeptides and some free amino acids to be absorbed in to the body

    reintroduces digestive enzymes to the process. Once digestion is completed the nutrients are passed through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. For most of us the food entering our stomach is severely enzyme deficient because of processing and cooking.  Any food that sustains heat of approximately 118 to 129 degrees fahrenheit destroys the enzymes. The food then sits there for an hour‚ like a heavy lump‚ with very little pre-digestion taking place. This forces the body to produce large

    LITERATURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION OF ENZYMES Enzymes are complex proteins that cause a specific chemical change in all parts of the body (David C. Dugdale‚ 2011). When we understand enzymes we understand cells (Marshall Brian‚ 2001). In many organisms most chemical reactions are catalyzed -when a substance speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction- by enzymes. Each enzyme controls a certain function that happens in a cell. Still each one has its own process and rate that it converts molecules. Studying
