Stomach

Bacteria living in your large intestine (this is normal, everyone has them and you would die without them) begin breaking down indigestible dietary fiber in the food you just ate. This dietary fiber is composed of very long chain complex carbohydrates (that mammals cannot digest), the bacteria break it down to simple sugars which they use as food (but you also absorb some of these simple sugars released by the bacteria so both of you benefit). But in the process of breaking down this dietary fiber the bacteria also release gasses as waste, a mixture of methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. And that gives you gas.

Products like Bean-o contain an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase (derived from a fungus) that can digest this dietary fiber partially and acts before the food reaches the large intestine where these bacteria live. This reduces the problem significantly.

Products like Gas-x contain a mild detergent called simethicone that causes the gas bubbles to collapse forming much tinnier bubbles. While this does not eliminate the gas it stops the bloated feeling and pressure pain caused by the large bubbles that sometimes form.

try it for yourself, drink a 6 pack on a full stomach, then try on empty. big difference

True - Avoid drinking on an empty stomach

Drain cleaner. Glass shards. Thumbtacks. Molten iron. Batteries.

The abovementioned items are indeed, non-food items.

• Aside from these, a person who's been diagnosed with stomach ulcer, should not drink or eat the following food/ drinks:
• carbonated drinks
• caffeine-containing foods/drinks
• alcohol
• highly-seasoned meat/poultry products
• gas-producing food like broccoli, onions, etc.
• acidic fruits like lemon, grapefruit, oranges and pineapples

The idea is to prevent further damage to the lining of the intestinal wall which usually results not from eating foods but from skipping meals and alcohol drinking.

Have you ever experienced indigestion after eating a meal you ate while feeling anxious? Or had bad dreams or a headache after eating something that you shouldn't have? There is a logical explanation for the mind responding to the stomach, and the stomach responding to the mind.

Everyone knows for sure that the stomach receives food which has been chewed and swallowed, sending it down into the stomach (a five layered organ) begins secreting hydrochloric acid (HCL) as soon as a piece of food enters the mouth, and often before. HCL can only extract certain nutrients from food particles that have been properly broken down in the mouth first, so chewing your food slowly and carefully are essential if you want a smooth digestive process. Swallowing food in its whole or partially whole state is food wasted, as the particles that are not exposed will remain undigested, and will pass through the system unutilized. The stomach cannot fully digest fats, so if you choose to eat processed, fried or greasy foods, distress will follow, usually due to a taxed gallbladder. HCL also plays a key roll in full body health, as it kills much of the bacteria, fungus and yeasts that, if reach the intestines, can multiply then colonize in the body, resulting in systemic candida. (See article link below.)

When food enters the stomach, it is massaged together with the HCL, by undulating stomach muscles. This wave-like motility is called peristalsis, and churns the food and HCL together, forming a gooey ball, called chyme, which is then passed along into the small intestine.

Remember, the stomach can only digest and distribute what you put into it. Eating foods that were grown from the vitality of the earth, will in turn give you vitality. Think of it this way: you were not manufactured in a lab, so foods that are, will be absorbed as toxins and will confuse and deplete rather than nourish the body.

Digesting food is not the only star talent of the stomach. Much more credit should be given to the stomach's phenomenal ability to let you know when something "isn't right." "Gut feeling" is not just a saying. Did you know that you actually have the same number of brain cells in the GI tract as you have in your head? The gut and the brain are connected with the vagus nerve, and through it they communicate continually. In the beginning stage of embryonic development, a major cluster of cells is formed. When this cluster divides into two parts, they become your enteric nervous system (stomach, esophagus, small intestine and colon,) and your central nervous system (each brain hemisphere and cranial nerves.) Although they inhabit different areas of the body, they are still "twin" entities and are directly affected by each other's functioning and responses to stimuli. It is therefore crucial to listen to and treat respectfully, what each organ group communicates to you and to each other. This could be in terms of common sense thinking, emotional responses, gut intuition or pain and illness.

Always remember to "think" before you eat! The ability of your entire body to function in a state of health is dependant upon it.
