Question 1

is it normal for olive oil to upset my stomach?

Accepted Answer

Normal does not mean: healthy; only a statement of assumed/observed frequency, how common/uncommon. This is a huge issue. Medical industry defines normal: average to include the central ~96% of the entire range of any variable; thus average to include nearly everything. But what does this have to do with excellence of health? Nothing; only frequency. Nl for 1 may be very abnormal for another. Go for abnormally healthy.

Question 2

is it good to take an olive oil on an empty stomach daily?

Accepted Answer

Olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy oil and good to use as opposed to other fats.  Not sure why you would take it alone on an empty stomach.

Question 3

is olive oil good when you have a stomach ache?

Accepted Answer

Not specifically: Olive oil would not be expected to relieve abdominal pains. You need to see a doctor for evaluation. Olive oil could make you feel worse if your problem is from gallstones or pancreatitis. I guess that it may be possible that olive oil could transiently reduce gastritis symptoms for some but would not be exoected to have long term success. Excess oil could cause diarrhea for some.

Question 4

my stomach hurts everytime i eat foods with fat, after eating low-fat diet for 2 weeks. even olive oil. the pain is left and up from my bellybutton. ?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can check: Upper abdominal pain can be from "acid" pains, such as a stomach ulcer, just gastritis with no ulcer, or reflux (heartburn). Pains after eating fatty foods can be from liver and gallbladder problems, such as gallstones. One needs more evaluation by his primary care doctor. Heart disease, rib and cartilage problems, pancreatitis, or some cancers can also cause upper abdominal pain.

Depends: The average adult erect penile length is 4.5 inches, with some variation.This is predetermined by genetic and hormonal factors. There is no oil, cream or other material you can apply to gain a change in length.If you choose, you can consult with a urologist who can operate and give you more, but this is a major event,and should be done after considerable review of the pro's and cons.
