Bottlenecks in the intestines:

The muscular movements of the intestines are controlled by hormones and triggered by neural impulses. If, however the food contains too little fibre, nerves within the intestinal wall will not be sufficiently stimulated, the bowel movements will slow down and continuous supply of food causes blockages in the intestinal folds. The food residue remains too long in the folds, it ferments, turns bad, becomes dry and hardens. In these areas, inflammation can easily develop. It may take years until the person who suffers from such an inflammation realises this, because the feeling of pain in the abdomen is very slight.
Very few people in our western countries who are over 50 have normally shaped intestines. If the pressure in the intestines augments because of blockages or gas, their shape changes. They distend in certain areas, lose their elasticity and become flabby; in other areas they contract, become thinner and cramped. Often their location changes too and some parts of the intestines and the bowels shift to areas where they do not belong. The digestive organs lose support and this allows it to be displaced. This again results in malfunction and the abdomen becomes bloated and loses it's once - juvenile shape.
