Rome process
The Rome process and Rome criteria are an international effort to create scientific data to help in the diagnosis and treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia and rumination syndrome. The Rome diagnostic criteria are set forth by Rome Foundation, a not for profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. Several systematic approaches attempted to classify functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs).
Saccharomyces boulardii
Saccharomyces boulardii est une souche tropicale de levure utilisée comme antidiarrhéique. Elle a été isolée pour la première fois en 1923 à partir de fruits de litchis et de mangoustans par le scientifique français Henri Boulard. D'un point de vue taxonomique, cette levure est clairement une variété de Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Le nom de boulardii n'est pas accepté par les taxonomistes. S. boulardii est commercialisée sous forme lyophilisée, sous des noms de marques tels que Floratil, Florestor, Reflor, Florastor, Ultra-Levure, Perenterol, Enterol, Bioflor, Inteflora, Precosa.
Pelvic pain
Pelvic pain is pain in the area of the pelvis. Acute pain is more common than chronic pain. If the pain lasts for more than six months, it is deemed to be chronic pelvic pain. It can affect both the male and female pelvis. Common causes in include: endometriosis in women, bowel adhesions, irritable bowel syndrome, and interstitial cystitis. The cause may also be a number of poorly understood conditions that may represent abnormal psychoneuromuscular function. The role of the nervous system in the genesis and moderation of pain is explored.
Colon cleansing
Colon cleansing, also known as colon therapy, or colon hydrotherapy, or a colonic, or colonic irrigation encompasses a number of alternative medical therapies claimed to remove unspecified toxins from the colon and intestinal tract by removing supposed accumulations of feces. Colon cleansing in this context should not be confused with an enema which introduces fluid into the colon, often under mainstream medical supervision, for a limited number of purposes including severe constipation and medical imaging.
