Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 A stitch is a cramp in your side. I used to get them as a child. I'll see what I can find out about the cause. I think my daughter was getting them and a doctor had an explanation. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 I put " stitch " , " cramp " , and " side " on Google and got many entries about " stitches " including this one on Mothernature.com: http://www.mothernature.com/library/books/symptoms/side_stitch.asp As far as food goes a person should be careful with fatty less digestible foods that stay in the stomach and add to the pulling on the diaphragm. It sounds like an oxygen problem too--right up 's alley. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it would help your son, but our son came in first on 90% of his cross-country runs this fall by taking Vitamin O sublingually before the run. He was competing with about 130 other boys, and the Vitamin O helped him to not run an an oxygen debt, therefore he was able to sometimes come in a half-minute before the closest competitor. He wasn't as wasted after the run either. Worth a try. JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 , A vitamin E supplement might ward off the " stitch " ' It has been an old remedy for leg cramps in the elderly. It also helps with stamina. 'Couldn't hoit!!! Chuck I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to show up.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Swallowing Air, that is what I thought it was, either the diet or running with Mouth open, Breathe with your nose. Burp after meals... Trapped gas can be painful, ( one reason why no one is allow Cokes while having treatment) Gentle tap on stomach, following the GI track around ending at the navel,. this will break up the gas in smaller amounts allowing it to pass. Just some suggestions for " GAS underpressure " Re: The Marines >i stitch is a gas pain. trapped gas. i sed to get them all the time during >soccer training. i was advised just to run through it., which i did. i would >recommend ginger tea. or get into some colon cleansing > > >OxyPLUS is an unmoderated e-ring dealing with oxidative therapies, and other alternative self-help subjects. > >THERE IS NO MEDICAL ADVICE HERE! > >This list is the 1st Amendment in action.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2000 Report Share Posted November 29, 2000 Well, , I am no expert in this. All I know is that the spleen is a reservoir for blood. It creates white bloodcrops and destroyes old red ones. At very strong physical activity the body demands more blood and the muscle in the spleen contracts - creating a cramp - or stich. It is a strange organ, isn't it, if it bursts by accident and leaks blood, it has to be operated very fast. But a person can also live without it if necessary to remove it. Best, Lill Re: SV: The Marines > Do you mean too much blood to the spleen? If that happens it is important to stop any exercise > and relax completely. > How would the spleen get too much blood in it? I don't know about this. J.
