As the chyme is formed, it passes out of the other orifice of the stomach, and enters the first intestine or duodenum. Chyme is propelled through the large intestine by muscular contractions. Eating food lacking fiber greatly reduces the volume of the chyme and slows peristalsis. In the early stages of the disease, the ejections consist of chyme and mucus, streaked with blood. |
