Is stomach flu airborne?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

i would like to add that you are correct but also the large intestine does the same thing so yes its possible

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

What would cause severe swelling in both feet and legs with stomach bloating?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How do pepsin and hydrochloric acid work together to digest food in the stomach?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Contrary to popular belief, the acid is not directly responsible for the digestion of nutrients in the stomach. The hydrochloric acid is there to provide suitable acidic conditions for pepsin to work efficiently. The pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller amino acids.

Why do people get stomach flu?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
