Is stomach flu airborne?

Neither of these viral infections are airborne in the medical sense of that term. However, if you are within 6 feet of someone sneezing with influenza, before the respiratory droplets that are heavier than air fall to the floor or surfaces in the area, you could breathe some of the droplets containing the viruses into your lungs and get the flu. The stomach flu is usually transmitted by direct contact and not from respiratory droplets but that is not impossible, either.

Can you survive without a stomach?

AnswerYes. Bacteria do it every day. So do plants. You might find life much more difficult, since the food you like to eat tends to need some digestion first. Another AnswerYes it is possible. The common misconception is that all of our food that we eat gets digested in the stomach and this is not true. Our stomaches do only a small portion of actual digestion, mainly digesting proteins. It is our small intestine that completes the digestion of proteins that began in the stomach and then also digests the rest of our food, the carbohydrates and fats. Without a stomach, you could still, in theory, get all the nutrients you need, though you would have to be very selective about your food choices.

True except for Vitamin B12 for which patients will need a 3 monthly injection. There is also a possible problem with not absorbing sufficient iron or calcium which can be helped by appropriate dietary supplements

This only a SUGGESTION. Try searching the internet for "gout". I'm not a doctor, but it's one possibility. You won't have gout if you're skinny and starving... You will probably have a rich diet, probably including daily alcoholic drinks --if you have gout. That's why it's called the rich man's disease. Poor blood circulation can cause this too.

Why do people get stomach flu?

Although the "stomach flu" is a common term, it is not a real diagnosis. The proper medical term for stomach flu is gastroenteritis (an intestinal disease or infection, sometimes viral but it can also be a bacterial infection). It is often mistaken for influenza because the real influenza viral infection can sometimes include vomiting and diarrhea as symptoms.

The symptoms like those of "stomach flu" can also be caused by other things, such as a food-borne illness, like infection from E. coli or Salmonella from contaminated food sources; intestinal disorders like inflammatory bowel disease; and psychosomatic (emotional) disorders.

What causes the stomach to grumble?

Eat something. Many times when you are hungry, your stomach will "growl" or "grumble." This is very normal. Your stomach is a muscular organ that is part of the digestive system. The stomach's role is to break down food with digestive acids and juices through repetitive contractions. When you have not eaten for several hours and are hungry, your stomach will still contract in attempts to digest food that is not present. Therefore, the walls of the stomach are rubbing against each other which sometimes makes an audible noise like a "grumbling." When the stomach is empty, air is more likely to be present. Air bubbles in the stomach can then cause a "gurgling" noise as well. So, the noises your stomach is making are normal. This is one of your body's mechanisms for letting you know that it is time to eat and that more nutrients are required. Hunger...eat!! Keep a log of the certain foods you eat. Some foods can cause indigestion, gas and thus rumbling of the stomach or release of gas by passing wind either by burp or out the shoot scoop. This can be embarrassing for some people. Some gassy foods are broccoli, brussel sprouts, hot sauces, garlic sausage, etc., alcohol (especially beer ... awwww). You can buy pills over-the-counter called Beano and that will help with the gas. It also means you probably aren't drinking enough water. You should be drinking 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day and more if you are in a hot country or exercising and perspiring more. If you just eat and sit around you most certainly will have rumblings and a build-up of gas.
