Seriously, my abdomen so pain and feel so hurt, why should I do and what cause of this pain?
Take a point of this situations, this pain will make you not comfortable and unsafe condition.

Severe abdominal pain is a greater cause for concern. If it starts suddenly and  unexpectedly, it should be regarded as a medical emergency, especially if the pain  is concentrated in a  particular area.

Stomach cramps with bloating are often caused  by trapped wind. This is a very  common problem that can be embarrassing, but is  easily dealt with. Your chemist will be able to recommend a product such as buscopan or mebeverine, which can be bought over the  counter to treat  the problem.

Call your GP as soon as possible or go to your nearest hospital accident and emergency (A&E) department if this is the case.
If you feel pain in the  area around your ribs, read about chest pain for information and advice.

Stomach Pain Symptoms

If your stomach cramps have started recently and you also have diarrhea, the cause may be a tummy bug (gastroenteritis). This  means you have a viral or bacterial infection of the stomach  and bowel, which should  get better without  treatment after a few days.
Gastroenteritis may  be caused by  coming into close contact with someone who's infected, or by eating  contaminated food (food poisoning).
If you have repeated  bouts of stomach  cramps and diarrhoea, you may have a long-term condition, such as  irritable bowel syndrome.


Parts body serious problem pain

If you have sudden agonising pain in a particular area of your tummy, call your GP immediately or go to your nearest  A&E department. It may be a sign of a serious problem that could rapidly get worse  without treatment.
Serious  causes of sudden severe abdominal pain include:
  • appendicitis – the swelling of the appendix (a finger-like pouch connected to the large intestine), which causes agonising pain in the lower right-hand side of your abdomen, and means your appendix will need to be removed
  • a bleeding or perforated stomach ulcer – a bleeding, open sore in the lining of your stomach or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine)
  • acute cholecystitis – inflammation  of the gallbladder, which is often caused by gallstones; in many cases, your gallbladder  will need to be removed
  • kidney stones – small stones may be  passed out in your urine, but larger stones may block the kidney tubes, and you'll need to go  to hospital to have them broken up
  • diverticulitis – inflammation of the  small pouches in the bowel that sometimes requires treatment with antibiotics in hospital
If your GP suspects  you have one of these  conditions, they may refer you to hospital immediately.
Sudden and severe  pain in your  abdomen can also sometimes be caused by an infection of the stomach and bowel (gastroenteritis).  It may also be caused by a pulled muscle in your abdomen or by an injury.

See your GP if you or your child have  persistent or repeated abdominal pain. The cause is often not serious and can be managed.
Possible causes in adults include:
  • irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – a common  condition that causes bouts of stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea or constipation; the pain is  often relieved when you go to the toilet
  • inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) – long-term  conditions that involve inflammation of the gut, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
  • urinary tract infection that keeps returning –  in these cases, you will usually also experience a burning sensation when you  urinate
  • constipation 
  • period pain – painful  muscle  cramps in women that are linked to the menstrual cycle
  • other stomach-related problems – such as a stomach ulcer, heartburn and acid reflux, or gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining)
Possible causes in children include:
  • constipation
  • urinary tract infection that keeps returning
  • heartburn and acid reflux 
  • abdominal migraines – recurrent episodes of abdominal pain with no identifiable cause

Descriptions of Black Mushroom Truffles


Truffles have been found in  Europe, Asia, North Africa, and North America, but only three species are commercially  important. They live in close mycorrhizal association with the roots of specific trees. Their fruiting  bodies grow underground.


The term "truffle" as  commonly used refers to members of the generate Tuber and Terfezia. There are many other kinds  of subterranean fungi, "false truffles," which outwardly resemble the ones we eat. They are far  more common than the ones that are collected for food, and some are poisonous.


Truffles are  round, warty, and irregular in shape and vary from the size of a walnut to that of a man's fist. The season  for most truffles falls between September and May. The mention of Black Mushroom Truffles  conjures up images of the expensive French black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) from the  Périgord region of southwest France, used in making pâté de foie gras, or the renowned odorous  white truffle (Tuber magnatum) of Alba, in the Piedmont district of Italy.
Type of Truffle

  Truffles are  harvested in Europe with the aid of female pigs or truffle dogs, which are able to detect the strong smell of  mature truffles underneath the surface of the ground. The female pig becomes excited when she sniffs a chemical that is similar to the male swine sex attractant. The use of pigs is risky, though, because of their  natural tendency to eat any remotely edible thing. For this reason, dogs have been trained to dig into  the ground wherever they find these odors, and they willingly exchange their truffle for a piece of bread and a pat on the head. Not a bad trade for the truffle hunter! Some truffle merchants dig for  their prizes themselves when they see truffle flies hovering around the base of a tree. Once discovered,  truffles can be collected in subsequent years at the same site.

.

Since the times of the Greeks  and Romans these fungi have been used in Europe as delicacies, as aphrodisiacs, and as  medicines. They are among the most expensive of the world's natural foods,  often commanding  as much as $250 to $450 per pound


The flavor  of the truffle is directly related to its aroma. The chemicals necessary for the odor to develop are  created only after the spores are mature enough for release, so they must be collected at the proper time  or they will have little taste. This is the only sure indication that the mushrooms are ready to be harvested. That is why animals have proven to be the best means of assuring that the fungi collected will be  flavorful.


Although commercial truffles are more plentiful in Europe than in America, fewer are found there now than in the past. A harvest of 2,200 tons was reported in l890. Three hundred tons were harvested in l914, but lately only 25 to 150 tons per year have been found. Truffles appear to have predictable life cycles. To ensure future production, appropriate tree seedlings are inoculated with truffle spores, and when the sapling tree is established, it is transplanted to the proper environment, usually a barren, rock-strewn calcific soil. It takes about seven years before the first truffle begins to grow. A bearing tree will produce for about fifteen to thirty years. For the European market to survive it is necessary to regularly replenish the population of truffle-bearing trees. Inoculated trees have been brought to North America, but it is too early to predict how successful these experiments will be.

Truffles are also found in North Africa, in the Middle East, and in North America. On the desert after rainfall, knowledgeable Middle Eastern people collect the "black kame," Terfezia bouderi, and the "brown kame," Terfezia claveryi. They prefer the darker ones. In Texas, Tuber texensis is collected, and in Oregon, the white Tuber gibbosum.


Gaining in popularity  and comparing favorably with the Italian truffle, the Oregon truffle is harvested in sufficient  quantity to support commercial sales. Although the Oregon truffle industry is in its infancy, it commands  as much as $150 per pound for its truffles. James Beard claimed that the mature Oregon white truffle  could be substituted for European varieties.

Originally found in California, the  Oregon truffle grows in association with Douglas fir trees and is a major food source for many small  rodents and other mammals. These underground fungi depend on animals  to remove them from  below the surface of the earth and to disperse the spores that result in the continuation of their species. Here  is an example of complex ecology in which the tree, the fungus, and  the animal depend  on each other.


Collecting truffles requires training and experience. A small hand rake or cultivator is used to gently uncover the soil near the base of suspected host plants. As a rule, in the Northwest, these hosts are various kinds of conifer trees. Small freshly made holes at the bases of trees, which are not part of animal tunnels, are excellent indicators that animals have been digging for fungi.


To enjoy the wonderfulness of the variously described pleasure of dining on truffles, you must eat fresh, uncooked specimens shortly after they have been harvested. The strength of the truffle flavor decreases rapidly with time, and much of it is lost before some truffles reach the market. However, lovers of these earthly gems advise us that freshly harvested truffles can be purchased in advance from some local specialty stores. Wholesalers cover them with rice on restaurant serving trays in a refrigerated room as soon as they arrive via overnight air freight. The next day they are delivered to the store where your order was placed. When you spend as much money as will be needed for such culinary experiments, try to assure that you get truly fresh truffles.



The Italian  white truffle is considered to be superior in smell and taste to the French black truffle. What does a  truffle smell like? "A combination of musk, nuts, and ozone," was one observer's description. T. aestivum, a black  summer truffle found in Germany, smelled to one observer like "a freshly opened can of creamed  corn." This black variety is not considered as choice as the other two European truffles. In Italy one  Ping-Pong ball-sized Italian truffle has been said to have perfumed an entire apartment. The  powerful pungency of this small tuber was such that some of the inhabitants were forced to flee!



Method of Cleaning Black MushroomTruffles


Remove any soil from truffles just  before eating. They must be washed with water and brushed. The outside must be immaculate  since they will be used unpeeled. Dry with a paper towel.



Method of Cooking Black Mushroom Truffles

The fungus is  scraped or grated onto food and into sauces and soups just before eating. Truffle slicers have been especially  designed for this purpose. Experts recommend that veal, chicken, fish, soufflés, omelettes, pasta, and rice  can be glorified with thinly sliced truffles. Cream and cheese sauces avidly take up  their flavor.


Insert thin wedges of truffle under the skin of a chicken and store it overnight in the refrigerator before roasting.


A well-known chef prepares  a high-quality pâté de foie gras baked with a stainless steel tube running through the center.  As soon as the pâté is cooked, he fills the tube with diced uncooked truffles and then removes  the tube.


T. magnatum, the  most aromatic of the truffles, is crushed in olive oil in Italy, filtered, and dispensed in 3-ounce medicine  bottles with eye droppers. Some suspect that the crushed truffles are then packed in cans for sale in  foreign markets. Call local cooking schools or specialty shops to locate this juice. Only a few drops are needed to  strengthen the flavor of prepared truffles.


Method to Preserving Black Mushroom Truffles


The pungent odor of a truffle will penetrate  the shells of eggs and flavor kernels of rice when stored with them in a  closed glass jar placed in a  refrigerator. Once the prize truffle  has been consumed, the eggs may be  enjoyed in an omelette and the rice in pilaf.


Truffles can be frozen  for two weeks in a freezer-proof glass jar. Another  recommendation is to store them whole  in bland oil.
