A member asked:
I have a noncancer brain tumor on 5, 6, 7 if its not on 10 nerve would it cause stomach and colon problems?

No: Would not expect tumor of cranial nerves 5, 6 or 7 to cause gastrointestinal problems. However, involvement of cranial nerve 8 could elicit vertigo with vomiting that could be indirectly interpreted as being of gastrointestinal origin.
