After I was in the outpatient emergency room of the RWJ Hospital, I was diagnosed with inflammatory colitis (a wall increasing in size in the right ascending colon and the transverse colon) from a CAT scan.

For about a week and a half, I started taking two antibiotics, one of them being Levaquin (750 milligrams) and the second one being Metronidazole or "Flagyl" (500 milligrams). The Metronidazole seemed to work a lot better then the Levaquin did, making it highly possible that it was a protozoa or bacterial infection. The symptoms of the inflammatory colitis I had was infectious diarrhea, trapped wind, severe stomach aches, headaches, constipation, and soreness of the anal region.

A few weeks after, I started drinking protein shakes and taking sports vitamins to gain weight. The protein shake was called RTS 51, acting as a food supplement, having 51 grams of protein in one can that I drank down all of at one time. The sports vitamins being GNC’s Mega Sports for Men, having BCAA’s (Branched Chained Amino Acids) in it, protein components, and other nutrients. I started having the stomach aches, constipation, incomplete defecation, and diarrhea a few days after.

Could this be a relapse of the previous infection, or something more serious? If not, what could it be? Should I continue taking the Metronidazole since I have some left? Please answer and best answer is ten points.

When animals eat protein-containing food, the protein is broken down to amino acid molecules and the amino acids travel from the lumen of the small intestine to a blood vessel. Proteins are polymers of amino acids. Explain how an amino acid molecule in food you ate goes from being part of a protein in your small intestine lumen to a molecule in your blood. The lumen is the open space inside your intestine.

There are no cancer cells in our bodies , but an environmental cause free radical mutation from chlorine (carcinogen.)into our rapid growth cells, It reacts directly with amino acids in the DNA helix mutation causing rapid growth cancer cells.
all human carcinogen (cancer causing).cancer cells in our bodies have the same DNA mutation foot print. Finding the reason is a cells DNA is most vulnerable during rapid growth.
These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size…because cancer takes so long between the time you’re exposed to chlorine free radical mutation, to the rapid growth cells during ,rapid growth .Mutated cells Go dormant. Intel the cells are re-injured (damaged) this time you get your cancer !
Chloramines, like chlorine, are oxidators. Chloramines can kill bacteria by penetration of the cell wall and blockage of the metabolism. Monochloramine is the most effective disinfectant. It reacts directly with amino acids in the bacterial DNA. During deactivation of microorganisms chloramines destroy the shell which protects the rapid growth cells.
AMAS blood test Requesting an Anti-Malignan Antibody (AMAS), which is "looking" for an antibody, a protein the body produces against foreign matter, in this case cancer cells. It is a new test and if run twice, the false positives and false negatives drops to under 1%. It can mean life or death! If you find you have cancer, the odds are that there is a 99% chance of a cure Testing for AMAS can pretty much let you come to the conclusion that cancer is hiding somewhere in your body, should the test results come back positive. This will allow you to start treatment before the cancer has a chance to spread. Whether it is breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer or some other form of a common cancer, AMAS should be a part of your personal checkup and should be requested at your doctor’s visit.
3 Originally, the pregnancy test was used as a cancer test. Cancer patients, either men or women in menopause, were "pregnant" when they took this test A quantitative test was developed which measures HCG. A reading of 50 and below showed no malignancy and 50 and above was more likely to show malignancy. Obviously the quantitative test could be used to screen for cancer. According to these findings, any man, or any woman who has since ceased having a menstrual period, could take a pregnancy test and if it registered positive may indeed have a lurking cancer.
For those individuals who are not inclined to have regular checkups, this would be an invaluable means to find out if there was a malignancy in the body. If the pregnancy test results in a positive reading, than the blood test, AMAS, would be helpful in reaching a final medical conclusion. Done twice, the AMAS test is undeniably reliable and the amount of money saved, sparing the patient test after test, would be enormous.

Blood leaving the small intestine is rich in amino acids and monosaccharides but does not contain proteins, disaccharides, or polysaccharides.

a.Explain why amino acids and monosaccharides are present and proteins, disaccharides, & polysaccharides are absent.

b. Explain how these components are related to each other i.e., how amino acids are related to proteins AND how monosaccharides are related to disaccharides/polysaccharides.

[a]they help the blood absorb amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose.

[b]they provide the blood that is necessary to keep the organ alive

[c]they have tiny vessels that carry food and oxygen to the small intestine.

[d] they are where the provesses of growth and metabolism occur.

Many things can stimulate the vomit reflex including irritation, overextension of the stomach and various chemicals.

•True
•False

Most of the nutrients have been absorbed from the chyme by the time it reaches the:

•••pyloric region of stomach.
•••ascending colon.
•••duodenum.
•••jejunum.
•••cardiac region of stomach.

Which of the following are absorbed into lacteals?

•amino acids
•triglycerides
•monosaccharides
•nucleic acids
•all of these

After digestion the glucose and amino acids are absorbed into the veins in small intestine whereas the fatty acids enter the lymph vessels? why is it so? why can’t they enter the veins?

a)the provide the blood that is necessary to keep the organ alive
b)they are where the processes of the growth and metabolism occur
c)they have tiny vessels that carry food and oxygen to the small intestine
d)they help the blood absorb amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose

I have researched this everywhere and can’t find it, so even a simple helpful link will be appreciated.

Where do the following molecules go after being absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine? I need their path up to the first organ they reach:
1. amino acids
2. glycerol
3. fatty acids
4. glucose/other monosaccharides
5. nucleotides
6. vitamins
7. water

Answer for just some or all, whatever you know.
