omentum growth/liver damage

[Guest guest]

Barb,I do know that wiyh alcoholic disease the omentum enlarges and

thats what makes alcoholics stomachs get large. I've read that with

healthy livers the liver changes the chemistry of toxins, so thinking

that with healthy liver doing its job there would be no toxins soaked

into the omentum.? I get the felling that its the liver damage that

than leads to omentum growth. and read that the colesteral granulomas

are absorbed into the blood stream from the omentum, than causeing

plaque build up. maybe the omentums purpose is to soak in toxins that

make it past the liver to protect the colon? I remeber reading

something about the omentum awhile back that said the toxins that are

absorbed into the omentum are sent back through the liver.

my exposure started while I was healthy and I had dierhia through out

which got much worse in the second home with much higher amounts of

many toxic molds, voc's and probably bacterias with the moisture being

a big factor there. this is when my liver started hurting and food

allergies,mcs/chemical intolerance happened and I do believe this is

also when my immune system crashed. through out my exposure I lost

weight. I read or heard somewhere that haveing no fat to store toxins

causes the liver to have to work harder and I had little or no fat to

store toxins when I moved into this second home. I know for a fact that

molds/myco's can affect people who are already ill much faster, see it

happen with my own eyes in this second home.

anyway, I dont know what would happrn if the omentum was removed, and

wonder what would happen to someone who had that done with gastric

bypass if they were than exposed to a moldy enviroment. I know my

digestive tract has suffered alot and wonder if it would have suffered

even more if I had no omentum. so maybe those who say theres no known

risk to haveing it removed are just ignorant.? wonder if any peopled

were fallowed up on after removel to see.
