Terminology. The ileocecal valve is a sphincter muscle situated at the junction of the ileum (last portion of your small intestine) and the colon (first portion of your large intestine). Its function is to allow digested food materials to pass from the small intestine into your large intestine.
If the valve doesn’t function properly, it may stay closed, resulting in waste material staying in the small intestine too long. Or it may stay open, allowing waste material, bacteria, to flow back into the small intestine, where the body starts to absorb it. This leads to toxicity and causes a myriad of symptoms. It is a common condition but remains largely undiagnosed and untreated, causing many miserable health conditions.
Here are several reasons the ICV might malfunction –
Stress – Pressure, worry, fear and upset .
Digestion – Food sensitives, not enough stomach acid, or digestive enzymes.
Physical weakness – too little or too much exercise disturbing the digestive system.
Energy drains – phones, too much screen time. Electro-magnetic pollution.
