Avatar f tn Beans pass through the * small intestine and arrive in the large intestine undigested which causes flatulence (gas) to occur, also, beans contain more indigestible carbohydrates than most foods. Raffinose is a sugar found in mushrooms, beans and in smaller amounts in some vegetables and grains. The human body lacks the enzyme called alpha-galactosidase to digest this sugar, so it ends up in the large intestine undigested which causes flatulence (gas) to occur.
Avatar m tn The purpose of patents is to protect ideas that investigators hope to investigate. There is no credible evidence that I am aware of that FIV causes disease in humans. Please do not worry and do not worry about your cat, the possiblity of it infecting you or you infecting your girlfriend.

Coccidia is only of concern with pregnant women because these parasites can cross the placenta and damage a fetus. Guardia most commonly affect humans that ingest water contaminated with the parasite such as in swimming pools, rivers, lakes, etc.

Avatar m tn Until recently, studies into how hepatitis C causes disease in humans have been limited by the lack of animal and cell culture models. According to CII Director Dr. Ian Lipkin, "The identification and characterization of CHV signals the advent of a new tractable animal model for hepatitis C. This discovery provides new tools for understanding how this virus causes disease, and will facilitate drug and vaccine research and development." http://www.eurekalert.
Avatar f tn Gas and bloat could be caused by the whey shakes alone, Whey is a source of fiber, fiber causes gas in some cases. You get gas and pain from bloat when the "Bubble" of air or gas in the stomache or colon is too large to pass, so the expansion causes pain, a OTC drug called Simethicone breaks these bubble up into smaller particles or bubbles, and allows them to pass much easier.
129422 tn?1222699589 I just got back from my vet, here in CT. I too have a Maltese (8yr.old female) and she was acting very simliar to what you've described. However, with very different results from the vet. I was showed an xray of her belly, and it appears that all of this discomfort is simply due to a build up of GAS!! And do you know what he prescribed.....1 Gas X pill. That was it, I couldn't believe it. Sometimes we struggle with what might just be as simple as that.
Avatar m tn lately i'm feeling bloating in my stomach and change in stool odor. its like more gas i have to release and it smells bad when i poop. what might this be? i've been really stressed lately and too anxious as well. i think i'm depressed coz of frequent mood swings and panic attacks. and after eatin when i feel like full and burp it feels kinda sour. can IBS cause this or is it some kind of bacteria. i feel like this since after i made out with a girl.

Avatar n tn I can get gas in strange places in my body. I know it is gas because when i hit my side or pound on my back i can create a burp. the gas is very painful and can travel through my body to different parts causing very strange symptoms. I can create a burp within a few seconds by hitting my back with my hand ( like burping a baby) The gas can be in my side, middle of my back, hips, etc,, sometimes it feels like my lungs hurt but i can tell it is gas.
Avatar n tn I was in the Army Chemical Corps 50 years ago when a deady war gas was introduced but stored in a secret location. The agent is still available and named Agent VX. In liquid form, Agent VX can kill you with such a small amount that you need a special syringe that measures in micrograms. A drop of VX, 50 years ago, could kill you instantly.
Avatar m tn the first was negative and the second had a slight line where it would have made a plus. during intercourse we used the ultra thin condoms from the gas station. and it was very dark so we couldn't check for anything wrong with the condom...............i have experienced cramps,slight nausea ad eating a little more. and just today i got tired.....i have been emotional as well.....i miscarried last December 2010 and many ppl have had dreams of me being pregnant or have asked me if i was....
