Appendicitis develops when something blocks the opening between appendix (a blind-ended tube connected to cecum) and cecum (a part of large intestine).
A stool comes from the cecum (large intestine) through the opening into appendix.
When stool gets dry it turns into a rock-like stool, blocking the opening, known as fecalith.
Blocked appendix, swells (inflamed walls of appendix), and the bacteria that is normally present within appendix, start to grow and cause an infection.
The result is appendicitis with risk for perforation.

Best wishes!

But, then, if you exercised your stomach, like taking stomach bendings (? - don't know, if that's the correct word the word for putting your feet under something, like a bed, and moving your upper body up and down ) - couldn't you massage this fecalith out from the appendix? What does the animals do, if they got this problem ? Anyway, couldn't the doctors just surgically remove this dryed stool, and then, the problem could be solved?
The reason I ask, is, that I seem to experience a sort of lacking feeling of being satisfied (full) from food, seems, like I'm always hungry - and this has somehow followed me ever since I've got the appendix removed - couldn this be related to an effect, the appendix actually have, to digestion, from food moving from the small intestine to the colon? Do we, humans, in our common pool of knowledge, actually know, or have proved, that this could not be the case? What does these bacterias actually do, which is so far proved, and, you also explain, Marija, is presented in the appendix ?

I feel this lack of hunger, most of the time. My stomach can be full, yes, but the deep feeling of being full and satisfied, in a long time (in my intestine, I theorize) is missing!

I do a lot of running, a lot of martial arts training, as a result, to test my body, but when it comes to football (soccer, as we call it), I seem to fall behind in energy, during the training... I also seem to have problems putting on weight, building up muscles, or any layer of fat - the first is more wanted that the last. And also, my muscles seem to take a long time to restitute.

Could I be right in my theory - that this is due to the lacking appendix? I've seen no other statements of this on the internet - but perhaps I've been searching the wrong places. Or perhaps, I am totally wrong.

Got any comments or experiences on this, I'd be happy to know.
