Early pregnancy tests work by binding the hCG hormone, from either blood or urine, to an antibody and an indicator. The antibody will only bind to hCG; other hormones will not give a positive test result. The usual indicator is a pigment molecule, present in a line across a home pregnancy urine test.
Gas and bloating is a sign that food is not being digested correctly by the body. An inadequate intake of water will cause excessive stomach bloating. Water benefits the body by aiding with digestion because it supports a majority of the body's daily functions.
Prevalence, Causes and Treatment. One of the the commonest cause of bloating is food intolerance-or the inability to fully digest certain foods. Incomplete digestive processing produces unexpected gases in the intestine-creating painful pressure, and making the abdomen balloon outwards-stomach bloating. A major cause of stomach bloating is Gluten intolerance. 2  Another major cause of bloating is Dairy intolerance-including lactose intolerance. 3  Also-Fructose sensitivity causes stomach bloating. 4  Other causes of bloating are Nightshade Vegetables and Yeast Sensitivity.
