Show THE HERALD, Provo, L'uh, Sunday. October 58 Page Dr. 22. 1978 Lawrence Lamb Gas Problem Info Sought by Reader By Lawrence Lamb, M.D. We would like DEAR DR. LAMB to have your comments on the problem of gas. My husband has cut out eating - all milk products and almost all fruit and juices. Does activity or inactivity contribute to the problem? We need an answer soon. Gas is a common DEAR READER and frequent problem. A high percentage of people who go to see a stomach specialist do so because of symptoms related to gas. About 10 percent of the general population has symptoms from gas retention. There are two main sources of gas. A major portion of the gas often comes from swallowing air. The problem is people don't realize they're swallowing it, and if you don't know you're doing it, it's hard to stop it. A good trick here is to hold a rubber eraser between your teeth. While doing this it is difficult to swallow. This will alert you to the fact that you are swallowing air and it will give you a mechanism to stop the habit. The other major source of gas is the fermentation of undigested food. Milk can certainly be a cause in people who have milk intolerance. Large amounts of carbohydrates seem to do this in other people. Then, of course, there are n the gas formers such as beans, radishes, onions; some people have particular foods that are real gas formers for them. If you know which foods cause you gas, it's wise to avoid - well-know- has confirmed what was already evithat smoking dent in animal studies during pregnancy damages the baby's blood vessels. Asmussen said at an international symposium she studied 15 mothers and 13 who smoked, all of whom delivered normal, apparently healthy babies. But the babies born to smokers were an average of 10 percent smaller than those born from she said. Placentas from smokers were 20 percent smaller. While umbilical veins and arteries, which pump blood to and from the fetus during pregnancy, showed vessel damage in all infants of smokers, those showed none. of She said her research also indicated rs 000 awu qoo w&m them. The digestive tnct does seem to work better if a person is active. Regular walks seem to help eliminate gas and prevent distention. Patients who have to stay at bed rest often have more gas trouble than usual. Although activity helps eliminate gas, the ideal situation is to avoid excess formation and to have normal colon function so the gas isn't trapped to cause pain. If you have good colon function, eat the proper food and don't swallow air, you re not likely to have gas problems. Is there any inDEAR DR. LAMB formation to substantiate or refute the feelings of some that apple seeds are toxic, that if too many are taken into the body serious damage could result? Is it true that grape seeds and apple seeds can get lodged in some way and cause damage to the appendix? I have heard that in extreme cases death has resulted in otherwise healthy people. DEAR READER Half true. The seeds of apricots, cherries, peaches, plums or apples are all capable of causing cyanide poisoning. That means you shouldn't eat the pits of these seeds. As a matter of fact, laetrile, made from apricot pits, has caused several deaths from cyanide poisoning. It's unlikely that seeds will lodge anywhere in the intestine. There are stories about seeds lodging in the appendix, but the question is was the ap- diseased before this Eendix already - - pi j THROW PILLOW BONANZA BOYS' KNIT SHIRTS GIBSON'S II CHOICE OF FABRICS PRICE quality knit shirts for Fall and Winter.

Asmussen said science could provide no answer to the finding that four out of five babies born to smokers in her study were girls. "The theory is that boys are more sensitive to the effects of smoking than girls," she said. "It could be that more girls are born (to smokers) because the boys abort." The Danish physician said the studies were conducted because of her concern for persons in their 20s who had succumbed to heart disease.
