Yes, you can. Patients with advanced stomach cancer may have to have their stomachs removed. There is a surgical procedure (a jejunostomy) that implants a feeding tube into the beginning of the small intestine. Specially prepared liquids are used to feed the patient. Such patients can live for years this way. Digestion starts in the mouth and continues in the stomach. However, absorbing all the nutrients that you need takes place in the small and large intestine (NOT in the stomach). You can live without your stomach but not without your small intestine.

Technically, you could survive without you stomach if you ate appropriately prepared food; the function of your stomach is to prepare what you eat for absorbtion of nutrients by your small intestine.
All your stomach really is is a big muscley bag that squishes what arrives in it in a solution of acid...
Think about it, if you REALLY couldn't live "without a stomach", how would this man http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/1019/stomach.html be able to sue a hospital in Dublin?
Tell all the people that say you can't that they need to read a book!

Yes! The stomach breaks down food, but it is the intestines that actually absorb the nutrients. If you ate things that did not need to be digested, you would still be able to absorb the nutrients just fine. Sure it would be a boring monotonous liquid diet.. but you could live!

no someone cannot live with their stomach as it helps you to digest food and if u dont have a stomach the food that u swallowed will end up on ur inside the body and u will be stuffed with food if u continue to eat for days and become very fat!unless u have a titanium box as ur stomach as there are acids in ur stomach that help u digest and those acids are very dangerous!
