Question: Could you still live if your somach was lasered out and your intestine is connected to your mouth?

  1. The intestine usually receives partially digested food from the stomach and then digests it further before putting it in the blood. The intestine will not deal well with receiving undigested food from the mouth.

    However, people can receive artificially partially digested food into their intestine in cases where their digestive system is not entirely intact. If you lost your stomach you should be able to survive by receiving your nutrients, not via your mouth but pre-precessed straight into you intestine.
