Stomach

For about 3 hours.

The function of the stomach wall is to protect your stomach from eating itself.

It has a coating of mucus on the inside that renews itself every three days and stops the hydrochloric acid in your stomach from dissolving itself.

They are all the same potency for the same amount of calcium carbonate in a tablet as stated on the label.

You may have different preferences with regard to the available flavors on each brand. The labels will also show different inactive ingredients such as sweeteners (sugar, dextrose or sucralose) and different food coloring ingredients. If it has dextrose, it may also contain a tiny amount of gluten. Some people may claim to be allergic to some food colorings.

It depends on the reason for your upset stomach. Many reasons involve an excessively high PH , which means higher acidity. In this case you would take something with a LOW PH such as tums, which is sodium bi-carbonate. Vinegar has a high PH and will most likely not solve your ailment in this scenario.

Either way refer to this handy guide

I believe many of the "uses" of vinegar are wives tales and myths.

[EDIT] The above answer was incorrect. Acidic indigestion happens when the stomach pH is too LOW, not high. Low = acidity, High = basic. Tums itself does not have an acidity, it is a buffer that reduces acidity (aka RAISING pH) to stop acidic indigestion. Vinegar is a base, and would have the same net effect in this case. This is also called heartburn when it travels up the esophagus.

However, it could be the reverse, too high pH will slow digestion and cause indegestion. If it's this case, then acidic beverages would help; citrus fruits, soda, and tea will usually calm that. I call this "iron tummy" because it feels like your stomach has turned to iron, but that's not medical.

It's unlikely a shot of vinegar would cure it (it's too basic and will throw stomach pH all over). You'd be better off taking antacids (which buffer the pH so it doesn't bounce around). Soda helps me the most. To each his own.

Bile.

A lot of reactions & diseases. Don't freak out just do your research. Whether you have irritable bowel syndrome, UC, Crohns or you've come in contact with e. coli there are some things you can do right now to ease any pain, discomfort or inflammation you may have.

B/C of the bloody diarrhea you definitely have internal inflammation. Go to a health food store or (some walmarts) and get MSM (in capsule form), a big jug of 100% organic aloe juice ( drink @ least 8 oz. per day). Those are both natural anti- inflammatories. You may also want to try Solaray (that's the brand) Yeast-Cleanse. Full of Caprylic acid ( a great anti viral and bacterial), garlic (very good for your GI track) and magnesium.

Also you need to start taking a good probiotic. You can start with Keifer yogurt. (Learn about probiotics) Do NOT eat anything with nuts or seeds or anything too hard for your body to digest (even the skin of apples) b/c the good bacteria in your digestive system is low. And anything to hard becomes like sand against a wound, only its inside your body and you can't see the damage it is doing.

Lastly it if you can afford it try to buy your produce & meats organic. Pesticides breakdown your immune system. The damage that the food industry has done to our bodies is so severe and also the cause of many sicknesses and diseases. Dont just do what doctors tell you. Do your own research & educate yourself.

Twitching in any part of your body can be caused by a couple of things;

1) Not enough electrolytes, causing your nerves to mis-fire

2) Over-exertion

A simple solution would be to drink a sports drink with potassium in it, or have a banana and see if the twitching stops.

(Lack of electrolytes used to give me horrible cramps in my feet, until I learned what was causing it and started making sure I got enough potassium in my system)

Any food . But not junk food.

Apples are good, although some people feel that it is too acidic. They help to get rid of aches.

It means an inflammation of the stomach. Gastro- = stomach + -itis = inflammation. It doesn't say why however.

In normal conditions without any medication or specially formulated diets or anything, not very long. Your intestines are a crucial part of your anatomy because that's where 98% of nutrient digestion occurs, and where water is absorbed so that waste can be expelled as normal feces and not partly-digested diarrhea.

The muscle at the most inferior portion of the stomach is the pyloric sphincter. It is a circular band of smooth muscle located at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine (specifically the duodenum). The pyloric sphincter regulates the passage of partially digested food, known as chyme, from the stomach into the small intestine, ensuring proper digestion and absorption.

the stomach lining is made up of a histological layer (tissue layer) called "mucosa". as we gather from the name the layer constitutes mainly of mucous. the stomach is a site for churning and digestion of food with the help of enzymes like pepsin and hydrochloric acid (HCl). this acid can also harm the stomach muscles causing lesions which we popularly know as "peptic ulcers". the mucosa layer prevents the stomach muscles from coming in contact with the acid thus preventing the occurence of ulcers.

They don't do stomach transplants. During elective weight-loss surgery the majority of the stomach can be blocked off or sometimes removed, and when there is stomach cancer, the stomach is often removed, but they don't replace them because stomachs aren't seen as "essential." ... They can do other things besides risking the rejection of an organ to take care of stomach issues.

Please see your doctor if you believe that you need to have surgery on your stomach.

The statement that ulcers in the stomach or small intestine are caused by extreme obesity is untrue. Ulcers are typically caused by smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, steroid use, being over the age of 50, genetics and hypercalcemia.

Usually you (and health care professionals) go by your symptoms and by the known infectious diseases in the community at the time. If it is flu season and you have symptoms of the flu, it is likely that is the problem. Since the flu is treated the same, regardless of the specific type of flu, it is usually treated empirically as if you have the flu and additional work up is only done if the course of the disease is abnormal for the flu or unexpected complications arise.

Sometimes lab testing can be done, but for viruses, like those that cause the flu, there are no specific tests to identify a specific organism that are easily done. That usually takes a lot of time and these tests are only done in specific esoteric labs, and are often not insignificantly priced. There are quick tests that can be done, that will identify if flu viruses are present, but they are usually not needed.

See the related question below for information about the symptoms of the flu.

as per my knowledge it is around 20 min that's y eat slowly and take around 1/2 an hour to finish.

Operations for stomach ulcers are not done so frequently. With the introduction of new drugs most ulcers can be cured and treated with antibiotics. Surgery for an abdominal ulcer is really a last resort, after all medication and lifestyle changes have failed to repair the ulcerations.

An ulcer can form in the lining of the stomach as well as in the duodenum, the upper portion of the small intestine which is most often the location of an ulcer. Nearly all of the ulcers in the gastric system are caused by a bacterial infection called H. Pylori. If surgery is required access is from the upper abdomen.

Although surgery is rarely performed to treat ulcers it is done in cases of ulcers that do not heal or complications such as a perforation or severe bleeding. Surgery for ulcers can involve cutting nerves to the stomach, removing part of the stomach and/or widening the opening of the stomach.

It means you have a migraine. The best way to get rid of it would be to throw up.

The acidic environment of the stomach helps break down foodstuffs that was ingested and also kills potential bacteria. The alkaline environment of the intestines facilitates the absorption of nutrients.

The stomach has three main functions in digestion: -Mechanical digestion, the muscles in the stomach further mix and mash the food you're swallowed -Chemical digestion: the stomach contains Hydrochloric acid which dissolves and dissociates solid structures into free molecules -Enzymatic Digestion: The stomach contains an enzyme called pepsin that breaks large protein molecules into smaller molecules Of those three functions, the first two are not critical in the production of useable molecules from food, they only ease the process. Further along the digestive tract, the pancreas secretes an enzyme called trypsin that performs the the same function as pepsin. As you can see, if a person is wise about what they eat (soft foods that dissolve easily), the stomach is not required for digestion. It does, however, make it significantly easier, which is why we have them.

When your stomach produces alot of bile juice medically/scientifically known as black bile it makes it difficult for your food to digest in your small intestines which means with every grind, your intestines feel pain due to the rough and dry movement of food in them. So when you take antacid tablets or solution, it helps to alkalize the acidity in your stomach making it digestion easy, smooth and painless.

The antrum forms the upper curvature of the stomach. Since it is often not in contact with the buffering effects of food contact , digestive juices often causes gastric irritaion (gastritis) with redness, and possible bleeding or erosion/ulcers at this point.

Oh i don't know maybe that you go to doctor maybe?
