What causes bloating and stomach aches that last over 4 weeks?
You could have an intestinal virus; something you are eating that is not agreeing with you; drinking too much (not accusing you here). Also women can bloat before their periods and some women retain water. If it continues please see your doctor.
Wheat and yeast in foods can be a major cause of bloating if you are sensitive to these products. Try getting an allergy test.

What would happen to the mechanical and chemical digestion if you lost a large part of the stomach?
Mechanically, the food is mixed in the stomach by peristalsis and chemically, food is mixed with enzymes and strong digestive solutions to help break the food down. So, without the stomach, neither could work, therefore digestion couldn't be completed so in the end you'll die, unless there is a machine that could take over your stomach but I'm not quite sure they have that equipment yet...
hope i helped :)

What would cause fluttering in the lower left abdomen when pregnancy tests are negative?
Your abdominal flutters are most likely caused by gastrointestinal issues; i.e. gas or loose stools moving through your small and/or large bowel. Try finding food sources first, by eliminating one food from your diet for a week and see if there is improvement. If not, eliminate another food. Dairy, coffee, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, spicy foods, or highly acidic foods are usual culprits. If food elimination doesn't work, you may have a high stomach acid content, which can cause spastic colon and/or stomach acid reflux (heartburn). Try an over-the-counter acid reducer, such as Prilosec, and see if there is any improvement (give this at least two weeks to begin working, and take daily).
What affect does ascorbic acid have on the stomach lining?
This question probably should be answered by someone more knowledgable in the science of chemistry and nutrients. However I have heard that ascorbic acid acts as an antioxidant which would probably help fight the ill effects of bacteria and other microorganisms in the digestive system. Much scientific knowledge is gained through trail and error and I am not too sure of how much research has been done in this area. The Doctor that I heard speak on this subject stated Vitamin C is a total cure- all against almost any problem the boidy faces. That it should be used in extremely high strength amounts, i.e., 6000 mg daily. Thank You
