on it every time for the past year. I know I only chew my food an average of 3 times before I swallow but why can't my stomach digest something as light as vegetables? I know some people who eat quickly just like me but they don't have this problem. I've been losing huge amount of hair for a year now and I burp a few times hourly even though I don't eat legumes. I'm tired of burping all the time and watching my hair fall out and all over the floor every day. If my stomach cannot digest food anymore, that means I cannot absorp any nutrients so that explains the hair loss right? or do I have stomach cancer?

SHEESH.... Why do people always try to get a diagnosis here on Yahoo Answers?? What I can tell you is that the hair falling out, and the burping are signs of stress. Vegetables sometimes do not digest all the way (i.e. corn, peas, etc.). I am suggesting for you to go see your doctor, and ask him about Nexium. That will heal most anything wrong in your stomach, and you will cut down on the burping as well. Make that appointment tomorrow!!!

Humans cannot digest the cellulose covering of peas, corn and a few other vegetables. You should chew your food more thoroughly so that the enzymes in your saliva can assist better in the digestive process. Try this for two weeks. If no improvement, see your doctor. Hair is constantly being lost and regenerated. Your doctor or dermatologist can tell you if your situation is abnormal. I sense a certain anxiety in your questions, so a good medical exam is in order, if only to put your mind at ease.

Vegetables are very fibrous and don't alway s digest all the way, your body still gets some nutrition from them though. I would still see your doctor and a nutritionist, alopecia (hair loss) can be caused by all kinds of things including medications. Don't jump to the conclusion that you have stomach cancer.

mayb u do have stomach cancer. well, u know the right answer, go to a doctor or something. the nutrients that r digested goes to the hair so that ur hair will keep growing. but go 2 a doctor anyways. u might really be sick with something, if not stomach cancer

you guys are ridiculous. vegetables are, in fact, very tough for the system to digest. you need to try and chew ur food more.
