This fermented dairy product known as cultured buttermilk is produced from cow's milk and has a characteristically sour taste caused by lactic acid bacteria. This variant is made using one of two species of bacteriaâeither Lactococcus lactis or Lactobacillus bulgaricus, which creates more tartness.
Obstipation is the patientâs inability to pass fecal matters or gas. It is essentially an extended and chronic constipation. When wastes cannot be completely eliminated from the intestines it becomes a chronic state and the intestines can become obstructed. There is no precise diagnostic exam for obstipation. The condition of obstipation is identified by the patientâs health history and the signs and symptoms which are present at the time of the medical examination. A person who is chronically constipated is likely to feel bloated almost continually.
Constipation (also known as costiveness or dyschezia) refers to bowel movements that are infrequent or hard to pass. Constipation is a common cause of painful defecation. Severe constipation includes obstipation (failure to pass stools or gas) and fecal impaction, which can progress to bowel obstruction and become life-threatening. Constipation is a symptom with many causes. These causes are of two types: obstructed defecation and colonic slow transit (or hypomobility). About 50% of patients evaluated for constipation at tertiary referral hospitals have obstructed defecation.
