I'm really worried about having stones in my stomach. Can you tell me what could be causing this to happen? And if someone has this issue, are there specific foods they should eat or avoid? I'm also curious if it's okay to eat cucumbers or tomatoes. I'd really appreciate your advice on this.

Stomach stones, also known as gastroliths, typically form due to accumulation of calcium salts, bile, and other substances, often caused by factors like excessive gastric acid, bile reflux, or dietary habits; to manage stomach stones, it's recommended to eat foods that are easy to digest, such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and lean proteins, while avoiding spicy, fatty, or acidic foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and cucumbers, which can irritate the stomach and worsen symptoms.

I don't know what's going on, but every morning I wake up feeling like I'm going to puke. No matter what I try to eat or drink, even if it's just milk, I end up throwing up. It's really tough because I can't stand any food smells early in the day. Do you have any ideas on how I can stop this from happening?

It sounds like you may be dealing with morning sickness or a digestive issue. Try having small sips of water or ginger tea in the morning before any food, and avoid strong smells. If this continues, its best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.
