Finally your body can not use food that is not completely digested.
Partially digested food passed through your GI track but it can't be
utilised by your body.
Undigested food passes through your stomach and small intestine
to your colon. Your colon is like a waste management station.
Whatever food has not been digested in your stomach and small
intestine is handled in your colon. Your colon absorbs what nutrients
it can from food passing through. Rest gets dehydrated,
compressed to faeces and expelled through rectum.
Now your colon walls are lined with protective mucus that prevents
harmful bacteria and toxins in your colon from entering your blood
stream. In healthy colon this mucus is mainly colonised by
beneficial bacteria, but it also contains harmful bacteria.
Undigested food creates an imbalance in gut flora
Harmful bacteria feast on undigested food in your colon. Undigested
food putrefies and ferments in your colon. This putrefaction creates
many toxins as by product.
It’s much like what happens in the garbage bin in your kitchen.
Leftover food and trash starts to rot and before you know it stinks
like hell.
The only difference is that your colon has much more bacteria than
your garbage bin has. Your colon is also warm and humid, which
makes it an ideal environment for bacteria to strive.
If this would happen only once in a while the beneficial bacteria in
your colon would be able to keep the harmful bacteria at bay and
repair the damage toxins have caused.
However, if this onslaught is an everyday event continuing week,
months and even years it has dangerous consequences.
With abundant food and fertile environment harmful bacteria in your
gut multiplies in number and gain larger and larger foothold in your
colon.
