Stomach Problems

Eat for the health of it.

Over 22,000 people die from stomach cancer every year. Smokers are at a greater risk to develope stomach cancer than those that do not. The bad thing about it is that most people that do get stomach cancer do not have symptoms in the early stages of the disease. More than likely if a person does have some pain or ingigestion, you only figure that it is 'something' you ate that didn't agree with you. You pop a tum or take some baking soda. At first maybe it goes away but if you get to where it doesn't go away you better think about having some tests done. By the time that most people decide that it is more than just a little indigestion the cancer can spread to organs and lymph nodes.

Symptoms to watch for: Dull pain in the upper abdomon, that is not relieved by antacids.
Stomach pain and cramps after eating.
If you feel full after eating but you haven't eaten that much.
Vomiting after you eat or losing weight, you need to talk to your doctor.
Ulcers may be brought on by H pylori, which is an organism that burrows itself into the protective layer of the stomach. H pylori, is believed to be worse than an ulcer.

Most stomach cancer is brought on by diet. The most probable food is: smoked meats, salty or pickled foods or processed meats,such as salami or corned beef, hot dogs, balogna, bacon or ham, which usually is high in nitrates and nitrites. Limit your intake of these types of foods to once a week, to be on the safe side. Try eating fresh fruits and vegetables.

I think they should educate the parents sending lunches to school with the kids. Most of them that carry their lunch have a balogna or ham sandwich. My husband had esophageal and stomach cancer, and I blame it on his eating habits because he didn't like peanut butter. Once in a while he would eat a cheese sandwich, but most of the time he wanted lunchmeat. And then he would buy 2 two litre bottles of soda every day and he drank them, then he was diagnosed with stomach and esophegeal cancer. He also was not good about eating vegetables and fruits. He still does not eat healthy, so what do you do? Nothing.

Laughter is healthy:

A hillbilly fellow went hunting one day in Georgia and bagged three ducks and put them in the back of his pickup. He was about to go home when an ornery old game warden stopped him. He didn't like hillbillies so he was determined to arrest him for shooting ducks illegally.

The game warden ordered the hillbilly to show his Georgia hunting license and the hillbilly showed him a legal Georgia hunting license.

The game warden saw the ducks and lifted one of them and sniffed it's rear end and said,"This duck ain't from Georgia. This ia a Tennessee duck. You got a Tennessee hunting license?"

The hillbilly reached in his pocket and produced his Tennessee hunting license.

The game warden looked at it, then reached for another duck and he again sniffs the rear end of the duck. "This ain't no Georgia duck, this is a Mississippi duck. You got a Mississippi hunting license?"

The hillbilly reached in his pocket again and produced a hunting license for Mississippi.
The warden picked up the third duck and sniffed it's rearend. He exclaims."This is not a Georgia duck, it's a South Carolina duck. You got a South Carolina hunting license"?

The hillbilly answers, "Yes, I do, and he shows the Warden his South Carolina hunting license.

The game warden was extremely frustrated with the hillbilly at this point and he yells at him, "Boy, just where sre you from?"

The hillbilly turned around, dropped his drawers, bent over and said, "You're the expert, you tell me."
