Will you get the stomach flu if your spouse has it?
Yes and no. If you already got a flu shot before someone in your household got the stomach flu then you have a VERY low, to no chance at all to getting a stomach flu. If you did not get a flu shot yet or are against flu shots or other medical treatments then to reduce this risk, I would recommend washing your hands after you get home from work or school, before and after you eat, and during any free time that you may have. Also try to stay away from the person with the illness, until it is completely gone.(you can be around them to help them if they need help, but make sure you don't touch your face e.i. face, mouth, eyes, etc. and wash your hands afterwards)
Can laughing help a stomach ache?
"Laughter is the best medicine". It doesn't CURE depression but it does help, and makes the situations much better, if only for a little while. If you need a "cure" for depression, I would suggest that you go and see your doctor because medication may be needed, and only your doctor can know which ones and how much you need to take. But laughing does help, and works your abbs!! :)
Where is a baby kept in the stomach?
In people, the part of the body called the abdomen is the section on our fronts that starts just below our chests and goes to just above where our legs start. We have many different organs and parts inside our abdomens such as the stomach, the liver, the bowel, and the uterus in females.
It can be confusing when people talk about a mother having a baby in her "tummy" because we sometimes use the words tummy and stomach when we really mean "abdomen". Our stomach is where we digest our food, it is where our food goes when we eat it. It is a space to hold the food inside our abdomen until it is digested. The stomach is not involved in making babies.
Another space inside our abdomen is the uterusthat we also call a womb. It is inside the uterus that the baby forms. The uterus is just below the navel (bellybutton) in the abdomen.
After the man's penis puts sperm inside the woman's uterus through her vagina, the sperm connects with an egg and that is when the baby starts to form in the uterus. It takes about nine months and then the baby is ready to come out. It comes back out from the uterus through the vagina to be born.

What is gastric mucosal abnormality in the antrum caused by erythema?
I'll start by breaking down the medical terms. "Gastric" refers to the stomach. "Mucosal" refers to the inside lining, where the acid-secreting glands are. "Erythema" means redness, usually caused by too much blood in an area.
Putting this back together, the report indicates an excess of blood in the lining of the stomach. The use of "abnormality" means the cause of the blood hasn't been determined, which may be good or bad. Typically cancer and infection are pretty easy to identify, unless it is an unusual type or particularly aggressive.
Unless your doctor is worried about this, I wouldn't be too concerned. You may have simply had some stress that caused the stomach lining to be extra red.

What to do when your cat has a stomach ache?
Just like humans a cat can get a stomach ache. Sometimes rubbing their stomach will help. You can also phone your vet and ask what you could give the cat to settle down their stomach (or trapped gas.) Sometimes Pepto bismol is used but DO NOT SELF MEDICATE YOUR CAT! Cats are medicated by weight as are dogs. Talk to the vet and if the cat's stomach won't settle down please take it into the vets.

Emzymes that are required for the digestion of food in the stomach?
Pepsin is a protease enzymes released into the stomach. There is more mechanical breakdown too by the stomach muscles. If you take plant enzymes, most plant enzymes are quite stable in the stomach environment and go to work. This gives the plant enzymes an edge on digestion over animal/pancreatic enzymes. Plant enzymes can be working on food for at least an hour before the food proceeds to the small intestine.
Once the food enters the small intestine, plant enzymes continue to work. At this point, any pancreatic or animal enzymes kick in. It is at this point that your naturally produced pancreatic enzymes are released by the pancreas. Some enzymes are released by the small intestine lining as well.
The enzymes from the small intestine include:
- lactase (breaks down milk sugar),
- DPP IV (breaks down milk protein and other protein bonds), and
- dissacharrides (breaks down some starches and sugars).

Does ginger help stomach aches?
Ginger ale is known to help an upset stomach. An aching stomach might be different, though.
That's not your stomach that twitches, it's your diaphragm. The diaphragm the muscle that is responsible for allowing air into and out of the lungs. When one sneezes, one generally passes the contents of his lungs from the body in a single instant. This requires a forceful, violent contraction of the diaphragm muscle. The twitching that you feel afterwards is just the muscle still reacting to nerve impulse.
How quickly can you get another stomach virus after just having one?
well, for me, it is a pretty infrequent occurance. maybe once every 5 years on average? Back when i was in grade school, it was more frequent (like once every 2 years). There's no right answer, because everbody's immune systems are different. and even if everyone's immune systems were the same, everybody is exposed to different viruses in their lives, right? no one can trace another persons footsteps exactly, and breathe the same air, consume the same foods or drinks, or touch the same surfaces, etc. There are so many ways to get sick, and so many ways that your body fights it, so it's a tough question. but it's really terrible when it happens, so try and eat healthy and wash your hands frequently, and avoid people who are sick (which is very difficult if you live with someone who is)
