Serious question - how the f
k will she live without a stomach? How will she digest food?
she wont have lost 100%... it will be reduced to a fraction of that, like those with a stomach bypass or a gastric band... she will now be on several meals a day but very small amounts for the rest of her life, anything more will see food backing up into the oesophagus.k will she live without a stomach? How will she digest food?Ozzie Osmond said:

"As long as you're not ingesting it in liquid form, all the research we have done indicates that it is a perfectly safe method to use in both bars and kitchens."
Which, if you're putting it in a drink, is likely to happen, no?Eric Mc said:
Digestion doesn't just take place in the stomach - so she will be able to digest food. Her system will just not be as efficient as it was - and she will probably have to use the loo a lot more often.
I know someone who has lost part of her stomach and part of her large intestine (through illness - not a silly drinking accident).
It is not a good situation and it will indeed, be a life changing incident.
Indeed. Sorry to hear about your friend. I guess she uses the toilet a lot more because the large intestine isn't drawing fluid from the faeces as much as it would if she had some of her large intestine removed (so not really to do with the stomach being removed). (IIRC!)I know someone who has lost part of her stomach and part of her large intestine (through illness - not a silly drinking accident).

Silver lining: she probably won't have to worry about obesity due to not being able to eat a lot.
Oops. Pretty bad idea to add liquid nitrogen to jagermeister, I'd say. Worse idea to drink it before it's all boiled off.
I've put liquid N2 in my mouth to do the 'blowing big clouds of vapour trick'. One of our lecturers used to do it for crowds of appreciative UCAS visitors, complete with pretend safety speech beforehand where he'd hand a knife to one of them and instruct them to stab him and release the pressure if he accidentally swallowed it. Difference was that we actually knew the risks and consequences I suppose.
I swear over the top health and safety stuff doesn't help. People just assume everything's safe these days otherwise it wouldn't be allowed, rather than actually thinking for themselves.

Crohn's Disease is the culprit in the case I was mentioning.
A very good friend of mine has suffered this since the age of 9. He is 24 now but only has 2m of intestine left and a colostomy bag, everything else has been removed - he still has very bad days and stays in hospital. A terrible disease. He has a TVR though and is an avid PHer!Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
