What irritates the colon & why is it so sensitive?
Many factors can irritate the well being of the colon. It goes without saying that constipation is one of the worse. But add to this the irritating effect of a wrong kind of fiber, a sensitivity to certain spices and/or condiments, and the reality of just how sensitive the colon really is begins to take on new importance. The sensitivity of the colon is akin to the sensitivity of the nasal membranes or membrane of the inner eye lid. We continue to put foods and artificial agents into our digestive tracts that end up in the colon as harmful chemical by-products inflicting as much or worse damage to the sensitive mucus lining of the colon.
