These, however, have been exposed to the digestive mercies of bacteria in the large intestine, and any residual goodies have been removed from them that way.
Based on these findings, we propose a model whereby deficiencies in disaccharidases and hexose transporters alter the milieu of carbohydrates in the distal small intestine (ileum) and proximal large intestine (cecum), resulting in the supply of additional growth substrates for bacteria.
Stoma care refers to the care required by patients who have had colostomies and other similar procedures, in which a piece of the large intestine or colon is diverted to an opening in the abdominal wall, known as a stoma.
