  1. I told Grandma that I had a tummy ache and went up to our house to go take a bath. The walk up the hill was unbearable. Every breath felt like a serrated spear was being twisted in my pelvis.

  2. #Antibiotics can treat #appendicitis for many patients, no surgery needed

For more than a century, doctors treating appendicitis have usually removed the organ, for fear it might rupture and cause severe infection. After 10 years, more than half still did not need an #appendectomy, new data show

    "The increase in appendix cancer among younger adults is part of a broader trend seen in other gastrointestinal cancers, such as those of the colon and stomach. These cancers, too, are being diagnosed more often in people under 50, suggesting that shared risk factors may be at work.

    The reasons for this shift are complex and probably involve a mix of genetics, lifestyle, environment and perhaps even changes in our gut microbiome – the bacteria in our intestines that live with us.

    Over the past few decades, antibiotics have been used more frequently, both in medicine and in agriculture. This widespread use can alter the balance of bacteria in our guts, which might influence cancer risk.

    Some recent research suggests that early-life exposure to antibiotics could have long-term effects on the digestive system, but more studies are needed to confirm this link."

  13. Your appendix is not, in fact, useless. This anatomy professor explains

    "The appendix has a high concentration of immune tissue, so it's acting to help the immune system fight any bad things in the gut."

    "The idea is it's safe during this time of gastrointestinal distress and it can then exit the appendix and recolonize this good bacteria throughout the rest of the gut."

  15. It turns out that the appendix appears to have two related functions.

    The first function is supporting the immune system. The appendix has a high concentration of immune tissue, so it's acting to help the immune system fight any bad things in the gut.

    The second function that it serves is what we refer to as a safe reservoir for the beneficial gut bacteria that we have.
