What does it mean if you have several pea-sized sore lumps in each armpit?

==New Answer Headline== It may also be a condition called hidradenitis, where boils occur in areas with hair such as your groin or your armpit.The lumps are chronic or recurrent and are sore and release pus and blood. In my case it is hormonal and coincides with my cycle. Some months I have them and some months I don't. In any case, do have it checked out. Go to your doctor right now! It could be cancer! Or it maybe sweat that could't come out. Do you wear a lot of deodorant? Please don't freak out over cancer, but, the other posters are correct in saying that any lump should be checked out by your doctor. Deodorants can cause this or you could have blocked sweat glands. Also you could have inflamation of the lymph nodes. This is something only a doctor can tell you, but please don't go in fear, because most of the time it isn't cancer! GET TO YOUR DOCTOR and put your mind at rest!

What happens if you over eat in your stomach?

At one time or other, most of us have eaten too much. If it only happens occasionally, the result may be a stomach ache (cramps, feeling bloated or uncomfortable) but it will be temporary. But if you overeat too much, your stomach will expand and you will begin to look more overweight. Overeating can also be bad for your digestive system, especially if you are eating too many sweet or fatty foods, which can result in heartburn and lead to other diseases.

When nutrients leave the stomach in what order do they move through the small intestine?

When food leaves the stomach it first goes through the small intestine. It goes in the same order as it leaves the stomach. The first part of the small intestine is called the duodenum. It changes the digestive fluid from the acidic fluid of the stomach to alkaline. After that it goes through the rest of the small intestine. Nutrients that have become small enough are absorbed by the small intestine through small projections or villi.

Food that leaves the small intestine goes into the large intestine. There bacteria digests part of it and makes part of it available for the human. The food part then passes through the very thin large intestine wall.

The food digested in the small and large intestines go from there to the liver.

What is the temperature of the stomach?

The normal temperature of the stomach is 98.6 degrees - with some slight variation in the morning, at night and according to our own personal physiology.

After consuming something cold - like a bowl of ice cream the temperature would be lower until the substance is warmed by stomach contents (stomach acid).

When the stomach is very full, the temperature of the stomach will rise according to the amount of energy produced to facilitate digestion.

How can a 15 year old boy get a flat stomach?

Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing.

Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat through calorie-burning exercises, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. Unlike muscle-building, it cannot be specifically targeted to one region. Also, the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude.

Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:

Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 small-portioned meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.

Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.

Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.

More guidelines:

Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.

Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).

This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.

In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.

What are biles in the stomach?

bile never goes into the stomach unless you are throwing up it is secreted into the small intestine.

Why is your stomach called stomach?

Before I answer this question.I would like to ask you why your name is called as your name? Why mom is called mom? Why dad is called dad? Why earth is called Earth? and why people are called people?

It is just because it is how stomach is named :)

What do you do if you have stomach cramps?

Why does your stomach churn?

BECAUSE YOU'RE HUNGRY.

Yes, but here's more on that.

the almost empty stomach is allowing gas to accumulate, when this gas enters the intestine it can make a gurgling or growling sound, even when you are not hungry this can happen deeper down in the intestine, it is why sometimes you stomach can make a noise even without you being hungry.

Can gallbladder effect the stomach?

Naturally!

But what many people don't know, is:

the (bitter) bile juice

is the (overload) "abort" mechanism

for stomach & intestines.

If the gall bladder releases enough bile,

you cannot stop & prevent the convulsions

which will make you vomit &/or defecate.

Vomiting will stop once the bile juice comes

high enough into the throat,

usually the mouth.

I don't recommend eating or drinking anything after vomiting

for about an hour or 2,

because a calm (=peaceful, regulation)

has set in.

Another thing people don't know

is that very low fat diets

will cause a pain in your (right) side

(you guessed it)

by the gall bladder,

because bile binds with fat & oils;

but if there aren't enough there,

then it crystalizes (with (table) salt)

& gets stored as an acid

Some doctors have wrongly diagnosed liver cancer (without thorough testing),

later to be amazed by a speedy recovery.

If you suffer from side pains (in the right side)

caused by a low fat diet,

a spoon of mayonnaise can help in minutes,

or some salad oil.

Tip: avoid salt (NaCl), to reduce "excess" stomach acid (HCl),

produced by the chloride (Cl).

Acid Reflux?

No salt!

Works within a few days,

but most foods are unfortunately salted.

Good luck.
