Question 1

is it normal to feel intestines fumbling in your stomach?

Accepted Answer

YES: They rumble once in a while, but it should be painless.

Question 2

is it normal to feel the digestion process in our stomach/intestines after eating a meal and lying down? i usually feel this warm feeling under my belly button after eating a decent sized meal. is this a concern or is this normal?

Accepted Answer

: You did not describe what you feel. One can not feel the digestive process.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 3

is it normal to last a week without food passing threw intestine?

Accepted Answer

Generally not: Proteins tend to take longer to digest. Low fiber diet & poor fluid intake can prolong transit time as well as lead to constipation. Increase fiber (fruits/veggies/supplement) & fluid intake (8 full glasses of water, not caffeine or alcohol which tend to dehydrate) & stool softener. May take several days to improve condition. If no bm or pain worsens, see pcp for evaluation.

Question 4

normally, how long would the digestive system take to empty the food in it {incl. intestines}?

Accepted Answer

Following a meal,: Transit time through the small intestine is anywhere from 45 minute to 90 minutes; then transit time through the colon normally is 24-36 hours. This will vary from patient to patient and relative to diet and other conditions such as prior abdominal surgery, fluid intake, stress, meds and hydration status.

Question 5

my sisters intestine is 60cm longer than normal, she's been having constipation from when she was little, she's 24 now, is that ok?what can she do?

Accepted Answer

Consult a specialist: Constipation is very common in her age and some people have since childhood. There are so many causes for constipation that the best thing do is to consult a gastroenterologist and if needed he or she will refer to a colorectal surgeon. The length of the bowel itself may not be the cause for her symptoms.

Question 6

is it normal to not hear noise from your intestine and stomach?

Accepted Answer

: YES, IT IS AIR/GAS MOVING THROUG THE GUT.

Question 7

my small intestines make my lower stomach area like bulge out. it's weird to me. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Rectus abdominis: Most likely you have weak lower abdominal muscles and that's why your abdomen bulges. It probably is not related to your small intestines. Dietary modification and a general exercise routine would help.  Leg raises, and cardiovascular exercise such as running can focus on this area of the lower abdomen.

Question 8

is it normal that i often imagine skinning myself alive, braiding my intestines, and breaking my own spinal cord or sometimes imagine cutting them into two? this frequently happens and is going on for months now. estimated, 5x a week of imagination?

Accepted Answer

: Would suggest that you contact a local psychologist or psychiatrist to discuss your thoughts, and deal with this proactively.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Yes: Not unusual after getting the plumbing reworked.  Discuss with the surgeon at follow up visit.  Not normal to have severe pain, vomiting,  no stool output, bleeding after reversal; if present, call md asap.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

The danger: Was the problem with her intestine that caused it to be removed. Yes life can return to normal...She may need some dietary adjustments, and hopefully your surgeon, pediatrician, and GI specialist can assist you. There is no danger to her life having her intestines removed.
